early-mid April for Grades 6 - 8

Middle and high school students and teachers are invited to participate in this significant program which brings participants face to face with Holocaust survivors in a compassionate and educational environment.

Barbara Wind, director of the Holocaust Council of the United Jewish Communities of MetroWest in Whippany, moderates the program and provides a brief overview of the Holocaust and its place in the history of modern day genocides. Members of the United Jewish Communities Holocaust Council Speakers Bureau then speak about their individual experiences during the Holocaust. From concentration camp survivors to hidden children, survivors give first-hand accounts of the atrocities of war that are descriptive, powerful and poignant. Students will have the opportunity to meet these living witnesses, as well as participate in a question and answer period.

The program is presented in the Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum and

pre-registration is required. Space is limited. A suggested resource list is provided to participating classes prior to the program. Call the Morris Museum at 973.971.3710 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday to register.
