This event is for educators of grades 6 – 12.
Salvaged Pages is a stirring collection of diaries written by young people during the Holocaust reflects a vast and diverse range of experiences—some of the writers were refugees, others were hiding or passing as non-Jews, some were imprisoned in ghettos. The diarists ranged in age from twelve to twenty-two; some survived the Holocaust, but most perished. Taken together, their accounts of daily events and their often unexpected thoughts, ideas, and feelings serve to deepen and complicate our understanding of life during the Holocaust.
This workshop will focus on how to use the Salvaged Pages text, and the accompanying documentary, I’m Still Here, with your students. Alexandra will also share her newest project, Dispatches, that encourages teens and young adults to record their experiences during the pandemic.
