F
or one teacher, it was
his first time east of
the Mississippi. For
another, it was his first trans-
Atlantic trip. And for a third,
it was his first exposure to
Jews. But for all 45 teachers
who traveled to Israel last
month to study the
Holocaust, it was an intense-
ly emotional experience.
Gary Simon is a self-
described "pioneer from the
Wild West" of Butte, Mont.
Learning about the
Holocaust provided him with
the means of combatting the
neo-Nazi anti-Semitism he
recently encountered in a
nearby community.
Alfred Lee Hooker is a
black Baptist minister and
social studies teacher from
Jacksonville, Fla. Holocaust
studies provide him with a
way to fuse black and Jewish
experiences of bigotry, in an
effort to help his
predominantly black
students understand their
past and that of other
minorities.
And for Bernard Can-
nariato, a history teacher and
a "child of the '60s" from
LaPorte, Texas, studying the
Holocaust was a way to per-
sonalize the facelessness of
history and _explain Nazi
brutality, "which just didn't
make sense to me!'
These three teachers were
part of a group of Jewish and
non-Jewish high school
teachers from 22 states that
went to Israel this summer to
participate in an intensive
three-week course on
teaching the Holocaust and
Jewish resistance to the
Nazis.
The purpose of the program,
according to Vladka Meed,
program coordinator and
Holocaust survivor, is to teach
teachers to teach the
Holocaust to the younger
generations.
Meed founded the program
in 1985 under the auspices of
the American Gather-
ing/Federation of Jewish
Holocaust Survivors and the
American Federation of
Teachers.
With a budget of over
$200,000 raised from private
donations of Holocaust sur-
vivors as well as various
grants, the program is open to
teachers from all over the
country regardless of
religious or ethnic affiliation.
"Very little in the way of
Holocaust studies is done at

the high school level, par-
ticularly in non-metropolitan
areas," said Meed. "We want
to make sure that the pro-
gram reaches small towns
where there are few Jews and
few classes in Holocaust
studies!'
Indeed, this year's par-
ticipants teach at secondary
schools in states not known
for large Jewish populations,
such as Alabama, Nebraska
and Louisiana. Approximate-
ly 60 percent of the teachers
are non-Jewish.
"I had never been around
Jewish people before!' admit-
ted Simon, explaining that
there are maybe 30 Jews in
Butte, a town of 37,000 peo-

pie. "I didn't know much
about the Holocaust until I
went to Israel. I was ig-
norant!"
Hooker joined the program
because he "was angered by
the dearth of Holocaust
studies and slave trade
studies" in the Florida school
system.
"I tend to look at the
Holocaust from a black man's
perspective. The South is
more anti-Semitic and anti-
black than most other areas
of America and the Holocaust
is a humanitarian problem as
opposed to a Jewish problem.
I want to spread the news in
the Southeast."
713 that end, Hooker ap-
proached the Florida
legislature to increase the
allotted quantity of Holocaust
studies in the state high
school system. Simon is plan-
ning to talk to the curriculum
director at the Whittier
School, where he teaches, to
discuss implementing a study
session in the Holocaust.
According to Meed, these ef-
forts are the intended result
of the program. Although
there is an extensive applica-
tion process that eventually
sifts 45 teachers out of an ap-
plicant pool of 500, the only
prerequisite for the teachers
is that they must be able to
implement their acquired
knowledge of the Holocaust,
into their classes.
With this in mind, Meed
and academic coordinator
Professor Henry Feingold
composed a. curriculum for
the summer program that
covered the background,
