BHSS Students Honor the Memory of Holocaust Survivors<\/h4>\n

In partnership with the Center, the religious school at Beth Haverim Shir Shalom<\/a> in Mahwah has been working all year to produce an online exhibit about the lives of Holocaust survivors who settled in our region. The initiative was based upon a class assignment<\/a> undertaken by Ramapo students in Fall 2002. We divided the students into four groups and assigned each a Holocaust survivor testimony selected from a collection of 136 testimonies recorded by the Center<\/a> for the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University<\/a>. The students produced StoryMaps<\/a>, narrative mapping tools, to share what they learned with their friends, family, and the community.<\/p>\n

The company that owns StoryMaps discontinued the application and rolled it into their subscription-based package. Unfortunately, we lost access to these exciting and resonant assignments. The PDF versions we downloaded do not do justice to the original maps.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
