Teaching Primo Levi in the Classroom

A workshop for secondary teachers on how to teach about Primo Levi in the secondary classroom, led by educators Kate Lukaszewicz and Susan Stein. This workshop will orient teachers to Classrooms Without Borders-produced resources designed for International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2021. Resources will include considerations of Levi’s memoir and poetry.
This program is in partnership with the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage and the JFCS Holocaust Center of Northern California.

Primo Levi was an Italian Jewish chemist, writer, and Holocaust survivor. He was the author of several books, novels, collections of short stories, essays, and poems. Levi is considered by many as one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers.

In January, CWB will host three additional Primo Levi programs. Don’t miss these:
