​IWitness was a featured component of three training sessions hosted by the Holocaust Educators Network (HEN) this month.

David Hales’ dedication to IWitness has taken him from Michigan to Prague. Hales is the social studies consultant for Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency, helping to bring best practices to classrooms in the 33 school districts in Wayne County, Mich., through teacher trainings, workshops and meetings. He was introduced to IWitness through USC Shoah Foundation’s IWitness Detroit program, which launched in 2015 in order to expand the use of IWitness in Michigan.

Holcoaust survivors describe how education continued among the Jews of Hagibor right up until the deportations began.
