Event Details

One exhibit. Countless questions. You can help students find the answers!

This immersive training is for teachers who want more than just PD hours. It’s for educators who want to spark curiosity, build empathy, and guide their students through one of the most complex—and urgent—chapters in American and world history.

Led by Kimberly Thompson, a seasoned Holocaust educator and U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum fellow, this hands-on session explores the exhibit’s essential themes while equipping you with tools, strategies, and resources you can use right away in the classroom. You'll gain confidence in leading your own student tours—and walk away with new ways to approach tough conversations with clarity, care, and purpose.

Expect thoughtful conversation, engaging strategies, and a fresh perspective on teaching this essential history.

Psst... Attending educators will receive professional development credit, curated classroom materials, and inspiration to carry forward.

For educators ages 21 and up. Just drop in!
Space will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Questions? Call Brandy at 543-7675 ext. 2013 or e-mail brandy@bcplib.org.

This event is part of our Americans & the Holocaust Exhibit series.
