BIC Holocaust Education Planning Group – Events in the Planning
During the upcoming months in preparation for Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), April 13-14, we begin a journey of learning that is based on listening to voices of the past, present and future. Screening of films and documentaries are going to be a part of that: “The Listener“, the story of Dori Laub and his incredible work; “Remnants“, the moving solo play by Henry Greenspan; “White Bird: A Wonder Story“, a gripping story for the young and old. Each of these provide an opportunity for signficant discussion and learning about the Holocaust and its continued impact today.
