A partnership with Teach The Shoah: The Holocaust Through Story


In this storytelling event, Maddie Ruiz (University of Arkansas), Brenna Metts (University of Central Arkansas), and Cooper Horton (University of Central Arkansas) will be sharing the stories of Holocaust survivors, Henry Well, Eva Nathanson, and Eva Brettler. Maddie, Brenna, and Cooper are storytellers with Teach the Shoah..

Teach the Shoah uses professional storytelling techniques to create custodians of memory who share about lives and lessons from an increasingly remote past. Their goal is to widen the network of people who tell the stories of the Holocaust. They believe people of all ages and backgrounds can learn from the Holocaust and be ambassadors for a better world.
