The Museum's Education & Research Center tries in earnest to
make available information that may benefit those interested
in learning more about modern Jewish history in all its many
facets. It is hoped that access to such information and
resource material will encourage you and others to want to
learn more about not only your own family history, but about
the many contributions the Jewish people have made to the
world as a whole. Learning, as well as a deep understanding
and appreciation of the history of the Jewish people, is a
process that one should strive for, and this interest should
be shared enthusiastically between the different generations
of one's family. Hopefully, this exciting journey of learning
will inspire this and future generations to do their own
research and allow them to experience the wonder of discovery
and self-erudition.
The Genealogy and Family History section discusses some of the
vast amount of information that is available to us and how to
access it. The Center provides links and contact information whenever possible, so that those pursuing
similar research might more easily find the information they
are looking for.
The Museum is seeking educators to present curriculum of a
nature that would be suitable to young children and adults,
material that could be presented online, that would both
educate and inspire others to learn more about the history of
the Jewish family. This educational material might include the
telling of stories of family life during one's youth, or might
include a lesson in the technique of oral history, i.e. the
interviewing of older family members about their life
experiences.
The Education & Research Center will also provide the names
and bibliographic information for various books and other
printed material that might be of use or of interest. next...
