EDUCATORS

Yad Vashem has developed specific resources for educators to use with the Stars Without a Heaven Exhibit. Above, you will see a video from one of the Yad Vashem experts for educators on how to use the exhibit in your schools. Below, is a lesson plan to accompany the exhibit for middle school and high school students.

COMMUNITY

CSYV Ready2Print exhibits will reach people in communities across Canada. We have partnered with the Jewish Federations in Edmonton, Hamilton, and Ottawa to display and promote the exhibits in their cities. These cities will be the hubs for communities across Canada, so other communities can bring the exhibits to their cities in the future.

Along with the Stars Without a Heaven exhibit, there are several different exhibits that are available for display. These include:

Shoah—How Was it Humanly Possible?

The exhibition deals with major historical aspects of the Holocaust, beginning with Jewish life in pre-Holocaust Europe and ending with the liberation of Nazi concentration and extermination camps across the continent and the remarkable return to life of the survivors.

The panels feature explanatory texts, interspersed with personal stories of the victims, quotes, original photographs and images of relevant artifacts.

“They Say there Is A Land”—Longings for Eretz Israel during the Holocaust

This exhibition focuses on the longings for Eretz Israel during the years 1933-1948 – from the rise of the Nazi Party to power to the outbreak of World War II, and from the annihilation of European Jewry until the end of the war and the establishment of the State of Israel.


World War II and the Holocaust shook the foundations of the outlooks and worldviews that had developed and existed among the Jewish people, regarding its future. However, even during those terrible times, in the midst of the struggle for life, Eretz Israel held a firm place in the hearts and thoughts of the Jews.
