Salvaged Pages: Teaching Young Writers’ Diaries in the Classroom

Alexandra Zapruder, author of Salvaged Pages: Young Writers’ Diaries of the Holocaust will speak about teaching youth diaries as historical and literary records in the classroom. She will describe her research, the diversity and scope of youth diaries from the Holocaust, and the particular significance of adolescent writings. She will offer a framework for thinking about the value of these primary sources for teachers, and will share resources, including those from Echoes & Reflections. Finally, she will discuss her ongoing work to study the writings of young people throughout history and into the present.

This webinar connects to the Studying the Holocaust and The Ghettos units on the Echoes & Reflections website.
