Please Note: Participants must be current Holocaust educators.

This full-day professional development program begins with a two-hour workshop exploring the many forms of resistance during the Holocaust, moving beyond narrow definitions focused only on armed struggle. Educators will examine armed and unarmed resistance by Jewish and non-Jewish individuals, from preserving cultural and spiritual life to acts of direct confrontation. The session will also distinguish between adult and youth resistance, highlighting the unique roles and risks across age groups. Through case studies and discussion, participants will deepen their understanding of resistance as a complex response to oppression and consider ways to integrate these perspectives into their teaching. 

Following the workshop and lunch, participants will attend the Broadway production of Operation Mincemeat. After the performance, cast members and representatives from our Speakers Bureau will join a talkback connecting themes from the workshop, lived experiences, and the show.

Participation in this program is CTLE credit eligible only for the workshop in the morning (2 hours).
