re. Holocaust Survivors' visit

[SHABLU <SHABLU@AOL.COM>]

This in response to Frederick Muller's post of Tuesday.

For those who are interested in having survivors of the Holocaust, or Shoah,
as it's called in Hebrew, I have a few suggestions.

If you are living in a large city, you probably have a Jewish community with
certain resources available. (Living in Los Angeles, and being the daughter
and daughter-in-law of survivors, I don't need to look far.)  Check your phone
directory for the Jewish Federation or Jewish Centers Associations of America;
they are a good resource.  Most cities with any number of Jewish residents
have a Holocaust memorial or museum with speakers available.  Many of your
Jewish students probably have a family member who is a survivor, and while
they are not always the best speakers, that might be your only resource.  Hear
them while you can; most are in their 70's and 80's.

Another resource which might point you to some speakers is the Wiesenthal
Center and Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The
<A HREF="http://wiesenthal.com/">Simon Wiesenthal Center Multimedia Learning
Center Online</A> has lessons and other materials.  If you can't link, the URL
is:>>>>> www.wiesenthal.com<<<<<

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Sharon Blumenstein, Emek Hebrew Academy Librarian, Sherman Oaks, CA
