We are pleased to invite you to join CHES for the launch of the National Holocaust Monument IWalk App – Student Version, an interactive and bilingual learning experience designed specifically for educators and students. RSVP is required. Click here to reserve your spot.
Developed by The Centre for Holocaust Education and Scholarship (CHES) in partnership with Liberation75 and the USC Shoah Foundation, this app offers a remarkable way to enhance visits to the National Holocaust Monument. Accessible via mobile devices, tablets, or computers, it provides an engaging and educational experience for both teachers and students.
Join us on November 21, 2024, at 4:30 pm, at Temple Israel Synagogue to explore how to guide students through the National Holocaust Monument, using the professionally curated educational program that is the IWALK app. This app features powerful testimonies from Holocaust survivors that enhance the Monument’s historical narrative, helping students not only learn about the Holocaust but also understand the enduring impact of antisemitism, racism, and all forms of hate. The app includes carefully designed pre-visit lessons to introduce students to the Holocaust and the Monument, as well as post-visit lessons to deepen their understanding and reflection after the experience.
During the conference, we will take you on a virtual tour of the Monument and dive into the app’s comprehensive features, including its pre- and post-visit lessons, ensuring that you are fully equipped to guide your students through this meaningful journey.
Ottawa is fortunate to be home to the National Holocaust Monument (NHM) the Landscape of Loss, Memory, and Survival. Holocaust monuments serve as contemporary and engaging entry points for students to begin a study of the Holocaust and the IWalk app is the perfect tool to facilitate this study. The app makes the history of the Holocaust and the symbolism of the Monument accessible to teachers and students. It provides an unparalleled learning experience which, along with helping students and teachers develop a clear understanding of the historical context, also helps them recognize and deepen their appreciation of the Holocaust’s enduring relevance today.
