ABOUT HAEA
With the Holocaust becoming mandatory learning in B.C., there is a greater need for strong tools and training so that teachers can successfully bring it to students. HAEA is collecting and sharing appropriate lesson plans, resources, and supports for educators, and is working on developing its own materials. As well, we will bring together teachers for professional development opportunities.
HAEA spoke with teachers at the 12th Biennial Shafron Teachers’ Conference at the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre.
We asked these teachers why it is important to teach the Holocaust, and how they approach the subject.
We are sharing their insights and ideas to help teachers bring lessons about the Holocaust to their classrooms.
HAEA’S INAUGURAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!
THANK YOU TO THOSE ATTENDED THE VANCOUVER AND RICHMOND SESSIONS! THE SPEAKERS WERE IMPACTFUL & EDUCATIONAL AND THE PRESENTATIONS BY MARIE DODUCK WERE ESPECIALLY MOVING AND POWERFUL.
“It was really awesome, and I came away feeling a renewed, deeper understanding and sense of urgency to disrupt the antisemitism I am seeing in my community.”
“Marie Doduck has left a profound impression on my heart and I felt honoured in hearing her experience”
ANTISEMITISM RESOURCES
These resources explore the history of the Jewish people, antisemitism from ancient times, and the modern manifestations of antisemitism.
