Teachers' workshop to focus on Famine

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. - The third workshop on the Famine-Genocide for high school teachers will be held on Thursday, October 16, at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J.

Teachers must register through their schools. The program is being organized by the Julius and Dorothy Koppelman Holocaust/Genocide Resource Center at the University. Assisting with the program is Dr. Larissa Onyshkevych, president of the Shevchenko Scientific Society, and Ivan Haftkowych from the Ukrainian community of Trenton.

Preceding the workshop, on Wednesday, October 15, a public lecture on the Famine-Genocide will be held at the university.

Although New Jersey law obliges public schools to teach about genocides and the Holocaust, the Famine-Genocide of 1932-1933 in Ukraine is not included in the list of genocides that must be convered in that curriculum.
