The Colorado Holocaust Educators along with the Coalition against Global Genocide, the Mizel Museum, and the Holocaust Awareness Institute at the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver will host USC Shoah Foundation's IWitness for a special 90-minute online professional development opportunity, for Colorado's middle school and high school educators.
