Holocaust Remembrance Day: Exploring Holocaust Education at the Jewish Museum of Maryland with Beth Goldsmith

Antisemitism is rising at an alarming rate in this country — less than 80 years since six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Now, more than ever, programs from Associated agencies like the Jewish Museum of Maryland (JMM) and Baltimore Jewish Council’s Teacher Workshops are important to ensuring that we never forget our history.

Beth is joined by Annmarie Fournier, a middle school English Language Arts teacher at Anne Arundel County Public Schools Virtual Learning Academy. As a public school teacher, Annmarie has benefited directly from the Teacher Workshops, as they have given her the guidance and tools she needs to appropriately teach the Holocaust to her middle school students.
