Summer Seminars and Planning for Next Year
As we prepare for Facing History and Ourselves summer seminars we want to spotlight our core resources, including Holocaust and Human Behavior. This resource book, along with class sets of novels such as The Sunflower and films such as America and the Holocaust
and its accompanying study guide all address different points in the scope and sequence and are available through our lending library as you think about your planning for next year.
