Teaching About Art, Literature and Music During the Holocaust: Educator Workshop

Join the Virginia Holocaust Museum for a day of professional development focused on art, literature and music during the Holocaust.

Educators will examine the diversity and richness of Jewish culture in Europe before the war, including the importance of the art, literature and music. There will also be a focus on how the arts continued to be a part of Jewish life even during Nazi oppression.  Educators will also be encouraged to think broadly about the idea of resistance: while some resisted Nazi tyranny by taking up arms, many others resisted using “weapons of the spirit,” to sustain hope.  Working with Museum staff, teachers will go in-depth to explore related curriculum resources for teachers of social studies, English, art, and music.

This workshop is free for educators and includes:

• Breakfast, Coffee, and Lunch
• Educator Resources
• A certificate of attendance

Deadline for Registration is October 21st, 2025
