". . . I should like someone to remember that
there once lived a person named David Berger."
- Holocaust victim David Berger in his final correspondence
before being gunned down in Vilna in July 1941. He was 19 years old.

Over 6000 teachers and administrators have attended the N.C. Council on the Holocaust workshops since 1989. The one-day workshops are open to all North Carolina middle and high school teachers and administrators at no charge (substitute pay is provided for public school teachers).
The workshop provides all participants the updated resource guide, The Holocaust: A North Carolina Teachers' Resource, the CD "A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust" (Florida Council on the Holocaust/Florida Dept. of Education), and a certificate of participation for renewal credit.
The workshop at UNCW will include a morning seminar and historical overview by the noted Holocaust scholar, Dr. Karl Schleunes (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) and an afternoon presentation featuring a Holocaust survivor, now a Raleigh resident, who recounts her experiences in the Majdanek concentration camp in Poland.
These workshops are are especially useful for social studies teachers of U.S. history, world civilizations, and the 6th-grade curriculum (Europe and the former Soviet Union); language arts teachers who use Holocaust works such as "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Number the Stars," and Elie Wiesel's "Night;" and for any teacher preparing their students for the April 28 performance of "Let Your Children Tell" (see below for details).
