[aaus-list] New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education

[Nora Favorov]

[This originally appeared on SEELANGS, but it has important relevance 
to AAUS-list. There is a similar group working to integrate the 
Terror-Famine into the NY k-12 curriculum. Any suggestions should be 
made to Ms. Favorov--her addresses are in her signature. I have 
included two replies from the list below the original post.--RDL]


Dear List,
An associate of mine is involved in putting together a curriculum on
"Stalinist genocide" for the New Jersey public schools. They are compiling a
list of materials that could be put to work in the classroom and in
community discussion groups. I am writing to see if any SEELANGS members
could recommend works of fiction or non-fiction that would make this topic
accessible to middle and high school students. The goal is to represent the
experience of all population segments that suffered death, imprisonment, and
exile under Stalin (not just within the USSR). Firsthand accounts are also
being solicited.

Thanks in advance.

Nora Favorov
