Journalist Roundtable

Holocaust Education

During today's Journalist Roundtable we look more in-depth on some stories that have flown under the radar. We're joined by Katie Meyer and Ed Mahon of Spotlight PA, the online statewide news service, and Brett Sholtis, who reports for the Philadelphia Inquirer. All three are veterans of WITF's newsroom.

Also, after a float depicting the gate to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz appeared in the Hanover Halloween parade, we're looking at the shortcomings of Holocaust education. Boaz Dvir has a personal connection to the Holocaust but also works with educators to teach about the holocaust and other uncomfortable subjects. He is also the founding director of the Holocaust Genocide and Human Rights Education Initiative at Penn State University.
