Join the Harvard Graduate School of Education for an online panel discussion that explores the power of personal narrative and personal identity as a tool for teaching and understanding history.
Our discussion will be anchored by the new documentary “Undeniable: The Truth to Remember” and will feature Holocaust survivor Ruth Steinfeld and Houston high school teacher Laporche Abram, who are at the center of the film. Along with an educator-leader forum, we’ll examine the ways in which teaching and learning history can help combat intolerance, hate and bigotry.
We invite you to watch “Undeniable: The Truth to Remember” in advance of this discussion. The documentary features five Holocaust survivors who share their remarkable stories with a diverse group of students from a Texas high school. The personal remembrances of these survivors, along with the dedicated work of their history teacher—grounded in the principles of being an upstander—lead these Texas teenagers on a journey of learning and discovery.
Speakers:
- Laporche Abram, social studies teacher, Hastings High School, Houston, Texas
- Daniel Braunfeld, associate program director, Special Projects, Facing History and Ourselves
- Ruth Steinfeld, Holocaust survivor and educator with the Holocaust Museum Houston; French Legion of Honor awardee
- Moderator: Eric Shed, lecturer on education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
- Welcome by Bridget Long, dean and Saris professor of economics, Harvard Graduate School of Education
- Welcome by Tom Werner, producer, “Undeniable”; chairman, Boston Red Sox
