Teacher Workshop: Myths & Misconceptions About The Holocaust

Join the Alabama Holocaust Education Center and the UAB Department of History for this free teacher workshop open to all Alabama teachers!

At this workshop, you will get the chance to hear from world-renowned Holocaust scholar Dr. Peter Hayes as he identifies eight myths and misconceptions about the Holocaust. Additionally, you will hear from UAB Professor of History Dr. Jonathan Wiesen as he discusses everyday life under the Nazi regime, as well as AHEC applied researcher Ann Mollengarden. She will discuss popular myths regarding Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. Through this workshop, we will give you the tools you need in order to deepen your students’ understanding of Holocaust history and its lessons.

Teachers will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the workshop, and 4 hours of PD credit will also be available to you on PowerSchool.

Substitute reimbursement of up to $100 is offered to teachers, should you need it. Attendance is required for reimbursement, and attendees will fill out a form at the workshop to be reimbursed.
