Homeland Project
This project will introduce you to editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, while letting you explore a social/historical issue. This issue affected many Jews in the 20th Century and is currently unfolding in Europe today as people from areas of conflict in the Middle East are fleeing and migrating into Europe. You will focus on the three areas of video production: preproduction, production and postproduction, and will form a narrative that has a beginning, middle and end.

Civil Society - Whose Job is it to Guarantee We All Live in One?
This 2015 Milton Wolf Prize winning lesson is designed to introduce students to the UN Declaration of Human Rights and to help them realize the need for individual civic responsibility to assure that these rights are reality for all humans. The lesson uses Survival in Sarajevo as an example of this responsibility in action and its impact during the Siege of Sarajevo. It is meant to be done as a Border Jumping exchange and was adapted by me from a lesson by Victor Gurevich to be done in conjunction with his students.

Postcards to Sarajevo
We began this lesson by watching Centropa’s film, Survival in Sarajevo, and walking through the traveling exhibition of the same name, which we brought to our school.

Herbert Lewin - stories of my life compared with "Address Unknown"
The story of Herbert Lewin reflects the life of a secular Jewish family with its gentile neighbors in Vienna.
The story "Address Unknown" is about business associates and friends who are both of German origin. One is a Jew living in the U.S.A, and his gentile friend who returns to Germany.
