Our project has been enormously uplifted by our partnering with ADL Anti Defamation League. We helped create 2 educator conferences in San Diego entitled The Practice of Never Again. In 2010, 75 public school middle and high school educators heard keynote speaker Stephen Smith, MBE, PhD, D Law current Executive Director of USC Shoah Foundation.
Dr. Smith is shown in center of photo wearing tie with our very own Holocaust Survivors from San Diego New Life Club . This year's conference grew in size and had 100 educators, with 25 returning advanced track participants. This year the keynote address was delivered by Rachel Korazim Ph.D., the former Academic Director, Distance Learning Programs, Jewish Agency for Israel. All of the educators received a Butterfly Classroom kit generously donated through Leichtag Family Foundation. We worked like crazy to assemble 100 kits in time for the conference and they were eagerly received by the teachers!! Participants commented that the panel we added this year with the Holocaust survivors sharing their stories was the most powerful part of the day.
