Whether you came to the Museum on a field trip, utilized our virtual resources, or accessed one of our teaching trunks, you qualify for free access to IHMEC’s iWitness materials, presented in partnership with USC Shoah Foundation and utilizing their virtual Dimensions in Testimony platform, to expand on your curriculum.
The iWitness platform allows students to have a more personal conversation and connection with one of IHMEC’s local Holocaust Survivors, Aaron Elster. Through activities designed to teach students about Aaron’s story, students will also have a chance to interact with and hear from Aaron himself through USC Shoah’s Dimensions in Testimony technology. Each activity was developed in partnership between IHMEC and USC Shoah Foundation, and we are incredibly excited to offer this as an opportunity to you and your students.
