The one-day training will introduce Detroit area educators to IWitness and strategies for using testimony in the classroom, including how to integrate testimony across the curriculum and how to create testimony-curriculum plans for their individual classrooms.

Even after using testimony in her teaching and research for several years, Professor Shira Klein still discovered something new during her tenure as the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research 2016-2017 International Teaching Fellow. The annual International Teaching Fellowship is open to professors who wish to incorporate testimony into their courses and research. The chosen fellow has the opportunity to visit the Center and consult with its staff and gives a public lecture at USC about their work.

Presented in partnership with: Two Point Films, Metro Films, Jewish Renewal in Poland, USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research, Polish Film Festival Los Angeles, Sigi Ziering Institute on the Holocaust (American Jewish University), Menemsha Films, CIYCL (California Institute for Yiddish Culture and Language), and Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival.
