Registration and Refreshments 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM; Workshop 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Keynote Speaker:
Morris Glass
Holocaust Survivor and Coauthor of Chosen for
Destruction: The Story of a
Holocaust Survivor
Morris Glass was eleven years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and
changed his life forever. A childhood filled with school, soccer, and cowboy
movies was transformed into a nightmare of ghettos and camps, unending
hunger, exhausting work, fear, and loss. Morris spent four and a half years in
ghettos in his hometown and in Lodz (the longest lasting ghetto), two months
in Auschwitz-Birkenau, and eight months in five camps that were part of the
Dachau camp system. At the end of the war, he was liberated by the American army. During those years, he lost
his youth, his home, and his father, mother, and two sisters. Out of forty-two close family members only Morris,
his brother, and a first cousin survived.
Workshop Sessions conducted by Dr.
Lauren Granite, Centropa and Sally
Levine, The Breman Museum.
Dr. Lauren Granite directs the US educational programs of Centropa, the first oral
history project that combines old family pictures with the stories that go with them. Centropa has interviewed
1,200 elderly Jews living in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Sephardic
communities of Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. With a database of 22,000 digitized images, they bring Jewish
history to life in ways never done before. Sally Levine, USHMM Teacher Fellow and Regional Educator, is
the Teacher Curriculum Coordinator for The Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum in Atlanta, GA.
The Breman celebrates and commemorates the Jewish experience and the universal themes of diversity and
human dignity by collecting, preserving, interpreting and teaching Jewish values, culture and history, inspired
by the dedication and courage of the Jewish people. By presenting the complex relationship between minority
and majority communities within a culture, The Breman strives to underscore the need for every individual to
make moral choices for the benefit of the entire society.
