The Education Division of the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum is
pleased to announce the fifth year of the Mandel Teacher Fellowship
Program.
This seven-year program is funded by a generous gift from the
Mandel
Associated Foundations.
The Mandel Program is developing a national corps of skilled
secondary
school teachers who can serve as leaders in Holocaust education
in their
schools, communities, and professional organizations. For each
year of the
program, up to 25 secondary school educators will be designated
as Mandel
Fellows. They will participate in a five-day, all-expense paid
summer
institute designed to immerse participants in advanced historical
and
pedagogical issues. The fifth annual Institute will be held July
30 to
August 4, 2000.
Fellows are expected to use their Institute experience to create
outreach
projects in their schools, communities, or professional organizations.
In
May 2001, Fellows will attend a follow-up program with Museum
staff to
assess the progress of educational activities and to continue
their study of
the Holocaust. Fellows then may apply for funds to support projects
that
promote teaching and learning about the Holocaust.
History and Social Studies teachers are encouraged to apply.
However, other
content areas will be considered as well. It is expected that
teachers will
have taught the Holocaust for a minimum of five years. Teachers
must teach
in United States schools.

We see the act of displaying a written document on Internet as
the equivalent to displaying it on the shelves of a public library.
It costs us a modicum of labor and money. The only benefit accrues
to the reader who, we surmise, thinks by himself. A reader looks
for a document on the Web at his or her own risks. As for the
author, there is no reason to suppose that he or she shares any
responsibilty for other writings displayed on this Site. Because
laws enforcing a specific censorship on some historical question
apply in various countries (Germany, France, Israel, Switzerland,
Canada, and others) we do not ask their permission from authors
living in thoses places: they wouldn't have the freedom to consent.
We believe we are protected by the Human Rights Charter:
ARTICLE 19. <Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris.
