Mind-Mapping
After having made two presentations in the past year on the subject of "The Holocaust in 1,000 Years" because of the sense that there was indeed a difference between the ways children of survivors dealt with "the legacy", I am now hoping to get contributions and suggestions for a mind-mapping COLLABORATIVE effort (seeing with a bird's eye view) on what today and tomorrow could entail in terms of Holocaust education.…See More

In Time!
As a child of survivors, time is probably one major factor I would consider in teaching the Holocaust.
This means that it becomes most important to understand what "the Holocaust" would mean one hundred years from now, or even a thousand years from now.
It is OUR responsibility to think "long term", as the members of the "The Long Now Foundation" attempt to do.
This entails a basic understanding of media, cultural memory preservation, semiotics, etc... not just history.

- Hi Pier,
I appreciate your joining the Ning. It is possible to upload videos (100 MB size limit) so having this additional storage space for your files and projects might be useful.

- Thanks Gigi for setting this up!
I am not ready to upload any kind of media at this point, but I am willing to possibly start a discussion on Boy in the Striped Pajamas...

- I've spoken with Peter in the past. Regarding the Boy in Striped Pajamas, I felt it was the anti-Life Is Beautiful. From the first scene until the end, it repeadtedly constrasts play and reality. Of course,
the scenario of two boys meeting at the fence on a regular basis and going undetected is far-fetched, but that closing scene is powerful.
