YIVO Cernia Slovin Online Museum Completes Ambassador Program

The YIVO Bruce and Francesca Cernia Slovin Online Museum recently completed an Ambassador Program developed with the Stan Greenspon Holocaust and Social Justice Center. The program aims to spread awareness about and use of our exhibition, Beba Epstein: The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Girl, in public, private, and charter middle and high school classrooms across the United States. Educators from the tristate area, Florida, and North Carolina were selected as ambassadors and tasked with expanding knowledge of the Online Museum and its resources, introducing and encouraging use of the museum and its resources to educators, and creating related middle and high school lesson plans.
