SEMINAR FOR TEACHERS
TEACHING ABOUT SHOAH

The Holocaust Memorial Center-Zekelman
Family Campus in Farmington Hills and

Professor
education in schools, the

university is seeking to help
Shichtman
teachers become leaders
in their schools in creating

The advanced teacher seminar, “Teaching
the Holocaust through Film,” seeks to help

that can ultimately lead to genocide. The
seminar runs Aug. 1-5 with a registration
deadline of July 22.
Professor Martin Shichtman is director of
EMU’s Center for Jewish Studies. For infor-
