Teacher Training Workshop

The Eva and Eugene Schlesinger Teacher Training Endowed Workshop on the Holocaust provides regional high school teachers with the information about the historical context and major events of the Holocaust, as well as provide a more detailed examination of children’s experiences during this period. These workshops are an annual week-long teacher training program held on the campus of California State University, Long Beach. The goal of the workshop is to prepare teachers to instruct young students about the Holocaust, to address prejudice and become more tolerant citizens. This invaluable program was planned and created by the generous contribution of Gerda and Harold Seifer in memory of Gerda’s parents, Edyta and Henryk Krebs who perished in the Holocaust.
