Hi,Contact the Steven Spielberg Foundation -The foundation records on tape
Holocaust survivors and makes it available for teaching purposes-it is
located in Los Angeles
Contact The Holocaust Museum in Washington they will provide you with
information as how to get teaching material-Some cities in the U.S have local
Holocaust Museum with Survivors trained staff that will share their
experiences with group of students when invited to speak or when classes
visit them-The internet is also a good source of info.
Thank you for your work-NEVER AGAIN !!
