I am a certified teacher with qualifications to teach intermediate and senior students. I have an undergraduate degree in history and I have studied the topic of the Holocaust extensively. I have taken courses that are focused on the Holocaust which has provided me with a thorough understanding of the events, people, and impacts that occurred as a result of the Holocaust. I am willing to answer any questions prior to the class about what students can expect if they are concerned about the sensitivity of the topic.
