DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop explores museums as carefully construct
 ed memorial environments that are at once commemorative spaces and pedagog
 ic tools. Focusing on exhibitions at sites of atrocity as well as institut
 ions at a geographical distance\, including examples from Melbourne and Lo
 s Angeles\, the workshop examines how curatorial choices shape public unde
 rstanding of the Holocaust. Building on these themes\, a practical session
  will model a lesson titled “Teaching the Holocaust Through Digital Muse
 um Spaces.” Participants will engage with the United States Holocaust Me
 morial Museum’s online collections through a structured\, multi-part act
 ivity designed for classroom use. Educators will leave with concrete stra
 tegies and adaptable materials to help students critically and ethically r
 ead both physical and digital museum spaces\, deepening their historical u
 nderstanding while fostering reflective\, responsible engagement with Holo
 caust memory. This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Steven Cooke (the 2
 026 Holocaust Memorial Lecturer) and Dr. Sandra Grudić (Coordinator of Ed
 ucational Outreach).Learning Outcomes: Educators who successfully complete
  this workshop will be able to:Analyze how Holocaust museums function not 
 only as sites of historical preservation\, but also as memorial spaces tha

 gn—including spatial arrangement\, objects\, photographs\, sound\, and s
 ilence—can influence visitors’ understanding of trauma\, absence\, and

 senting the Holocaust in museums and classrooms.Additional Information:Thi
