Scholar-in-Residence Workshop w/Rachael Cerrotti

HMMSA Workshop for K-12 educators

Using photographs, video, audio, interviews, archival documents, contemporary headlines, and personal stories, Rachael brings her grandmother’s story, entwined with her own journey, into classrooms and communities, adjusting the focus of her presentations and workshops to speak to the age and interest of the audience.

Rachael’s award-winning curriculums have reached thousands of students of all ages, from as young as fourth grade to adult education. She collaborated with USC Shoah Foundation’s IWitness and Echoes & Reflections to develop classroom-ready resources to accompany her podcast, We Share The Same Sky, which was the first-ever narrative podcast to be based on a Holocaust survivor’s testimony. Those resources are now being used in classrooms across the country.
