Teachers' Workshop to Explore Racism


Monroe Community College's Holocaust Genocide Studies Project will host a workshop for Rochester-area teachers to explore "Victims of Racial Exclusionary Laws: Effectively Teaching the Holocaust in the 21st Century." The workshop will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2003 at Temple B'rith Kodesh, Room 200, 2131 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Presenters include Dr. William Meinecke, Jr., historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Charles Clarke, professor of psychology, Monroe Community College.
