Teaching Holocaust History: Zoom Discussion with Hadley Noren

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the HC@gbc wants to re-share our conversation from last year with Holocaust educator Hadley Noren, along with her lesson plan and drawings from students that participated in her Holocaust program. We also installed a Holocaust exhibit in the GBC Library, on display through early February.

Hadley Noren in discussion with Humanities Center at GBC Coordinator Gail Rappa, and guests via Zoom on 1/27/21. At the time of this interview- Noren was the Northeastern Nevada education spokesman for the Governor’s Council for Matters Relating to the Holocaust. She offers: Holocaust professional development classes to teachers, a Holocaust book club through the public library, and an after-school program at Flag View Intermediate School in Elko, NV called SAG (students against genocide).
