We recently held our first Speaker's Bureau Workshop. This event was to train our interested 2nd & 3rd Generation members (2 & 3G's) to speak at local media and community events. Many out of town guests attended with a special contingent from Philadelphia. This was intended to be the first in a series of workshops and more information on future events (some of which will be outside the D.C. area) will be provided on our Coming Events page (for local events) as it becomes available. It will also be available in the monthly Generations of the Shoah International newsletter (for all events) (for links to GSI see the Related Links page). The Generation After will not be actively seeking engagements for the speakers. However we will maintain a list of available people and provide names if we receive requests. The idea was to train speakers who may be invited to speak through contacts of their own. At the workshop we promised some reference information to assist potential speakers, which is included in the next section below. We have created a chat group for potential speakers to share ideas and their experiences when they speak. It's a yahoo group (i.e. not a yahoo chat room) and can be accessed at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/genafterspeakers. Follow the instructions to join and your membership will be approved or send an email to genafterspeakers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Note: The conversations are not moderated. Any problems please call us or email us, see our Contact Us page. |

Reference Information on Speaking about the Shoah |

If you attended the first workshop then you have the packet of materials we distributed. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum put together this quality introductory packet that includes a videography and a bibliography, so please take a look at it! You can also do research on line. For example, if you go to Wiesenthal Center at http://motlc.wiesenthal.com/resources/questions/ you will find the most frequently asked questions [and answers] about the Holocaust. We recommend you go to a reliable website, like the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) at www.ushmm.org, or Generations of the Shoah International (GSI) at www.genshoah.org, and start following their links. If you go to the GSI website that will have links to many of the major Holocaust institutions and organizations but you have to know something about searching. For example, if you go to the GSI site you may not realize that AHO stands of Association of Holocaust Organizations. Their directory will help you find resources all over the world. Our own Related Links page has some interesting links. Go explore some of these sites and you will find more resources at your fingertips than you would imagine! Esther's Presentation Notes
