Educational programs for students Respect and Tolerance educational program consists of two parts: Jewish traditions and symbols Basic symbols, traditions, holidays and customs. Program participants will also be informed about the mutual coexistence and influence of the Jewish and Christian cultures during past centuries. History Basic information dealing with the Jewish history: genesis of the first Jewish state about one thousand years BCA, anti Roman rebellion, Diaspora (driving the Jews out of their country), entry of the Jews to Europe, coexistence of the Jewish and Christian communities in Bohemia and Moravia from the 11th to 20th centuries. In this chapter a special part is dedicated to the Holocaust, and to the contemporary and historical anti-Semitism. In the last part of the program students will be informed about the regional Jewish history and about life stories of real members of the local prewar Jewish community (Wolf Family - Otto Wolf´s Diary 1942 - 1945, Edgar Ziegler, Arthur Langer, etc.). An important part of the educational program is a film document created together with Mrs. Edith Carter Knöpflmacher. She was born in 1914 and she spent her girlhood days in Mohelnice, Loštice and Olomouc. She was imprisoned in concentration camps in Terezín and Auschwitz and she succeeded to escape from "the march of death". She was the only one of her family to survive the Holocaust. She came back to Olomouc in May 1945. After another bad experience in 1948, this time with communists, Edith decided to emigrate to the USA. Her narration is the history of the 20th century transformed into one human life story. Interactive educational programs Basic for us is the motto of "the Teacher of Nations" J. A. Komenský: "There is nothing in our intellect, which didn´t enter through our senses." That´s why we are preparing interactive "made to measure" programs for the schools. Students cooperate very actively and therefore are able to remember most of the gained knowledge. We are preparing these programs for elementary and high schools and also for colleges. In order to maintain Komenský´s ideas of "the golden rule of illustrative nature" we conduct our programs at schools with a help of DVD presentations. We organize our programs at schools and also in libraries, museums or in Loštice and Úsov synagogues. Our educational programs comply with RVP code, meet highest educational standards and conform to multi subjects methods of teaching.
