On Monday, May 10, 2011, The Voice/Vision Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive and the University of Michigan-Dearborn School of Education will co-sponsor a one day teaching academy entitled, "Uncovering the Human Dimension of Inhumanity: Using Life Unworthy of Life: A Holocaust Curriculum in the Classroom." The academy is designed to familiarize teachers with the award-winning curriculum, Life Unworthy of Life, which is now freely available online, thanks in part to the generosity of the Holocaust Education Coalition of Detroit.
