Our school presentation program lies at the heart of The Foundation for Genocide\u00a0 Education. Founder Heidi Berger created the foundation in response to students’ reaction to a presentation she gives to high schools on the Holocaust, and the precursors to genocide – hate and intolerance. Her presentation is based on her late mother Ann Kazimirski’s video testimonial and book, ‘Witness to Horror’.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada .<\/p>\n

We have since expanded our team of presenters to include more children and grandchildren of survivors from the Holocaust, along with survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, descendants of the Armenian genocide, and descendants of the genocide of Canada’s First Nations.<\/p>\n

Our presentations feature a 50-minute blend of video clips of a survivor\u2019s testimonial with live explanations from the presenter that tie everything together into a cohesive and compelling story. A connection is made between past and present-day events, and advocates for education to prevent future genocides. Suitable for various classes, including history, ethics and languages.<\/p>\n

We know that history is best told through storytelling, with first-hand accounts being an invaluable resource for educators. These gripping and powerful testimonial presentations allow students to dive into the past, further understand genocides, and develop their compassion for others.[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h5″ text_color=”#33b44b” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”letter-reveal-top” content_alignment=”left” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”NOW AVAILABLE: PRESENTATION VIDEO ARCHIVE” text_direction=”default” font_size=”3.5vh” font_line_height=”1″][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]We now offer a selection of our presentations which have been filmed live at high schools in the province of Quebec. This enables students in areas where we cannot visit in person to watch our presenters share their stories of survival, or the stories of their parents or grandparents, or even great-grandparents.
