Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of the most famous acts of Jewish resistance against Nazi tyranny. Within the ghetto walls, ordinary Jews used cunning and resilience to defy an army. One of the ghetto's survivors was Vladka Meed, an ordinary girl who fought against overwhelming odds, and whose true story of resilience is used today to teach students about the Holocaust and inspire them to stand up against hate.

Join author Joshua M. Greene to learn about his book for students grades 5-8, The Girl Who Fought Back: Vladka Meed and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and how you can use the inspiring legacy of Vladka Meed in your classroom. This webinar is presented by Echoes & Reflections and ADL Education and connects to Units 4 and 7 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
