She will describe her research, the diversity and scope of youth diaries from the Holocaust, and the particular significance of adolescent writings. She will offer a framework for thinking about the value of these primary sources for teachers, and will share resources, including those from Echoes & Reflections. Finally, she will discuss her ongoing work to study the writings of young people throughout history and into the present.
