History Live! Harmony Week (Stage 3)

Special guest Ernie, a holocaust survivor, tells how an act of kindness during his difficult childhood inspired him to champion living together in peace.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Students can be actively involved through asking questions of our special guest, joining activities such as learning phrases associated with festivals, and working with their friends to create a personal goal for the year ahead.
Harmony Week is about learning about other people and cultures, and appreciating and celebrating each other as human beings. Join us to learn about Jewish culture, traditions, festivals and history, and how our museum tells these stories. Our special guest Ernie, a holocaust survivor, tells how an act of kindness during his difficult childhood inspired him to champion living together in peace, and led him to be a founder of the Harmony Week poster and music competitions, and the Harmony Day Walk. Students can talk with Ernie and ask him questions during a fascinating Q&A.
