The ability to bring speakers to audiences in Georgia is an important aspect of the Commission’s support of Holocaust education. By replacing the statistics with personal stories, the survivors and victims are given a voice and it also ensures that the Holocaust is never forgotten.

This program is part of the "Teaching About the Holocaust: Lessons for Today" educator workshop series. The Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, in cooperation with the University of North Georgia College of Education, presents a free two-day professional development workshop for educators.
