THOMAS G. ARNOT EDUCATION FOUNDATION WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS IN HAWAII
October 13–16, 2003


In October 2003, through the generosity of the Thomas G. Arnot Education Foundation and via a partnership with The Kamehameha Schools and the Hawaii Department of Education, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum presented four one-day workshops on the islands of Maui, Hawaii, and Oahu. These workshops, facilitated by Warren Marcus, Director of Teacher Workshops and Conferences, also included testimony from Nesse Godin, a Holocaust survivor from Lithuania who now resides in Silver Spring, Maryland, and historical presentations from Dr. William Meinecke, Education Division historian.
