Catholic
high school educators throughout Southern California will
have the opportunity to attend the "Bearing Witness Institute"
June 15-18 at Mount St. Mary's College Chalon Campus in Brentwood.
This unique program, sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League
and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles' Department of Catholic
Schools, focuses on the history of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust
and addresses issues of diversity, prejudice and bigotry in
today's society and how to teach these topics in Catholic
schools. The four-day workshop, which includes visits to the
Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and a local synagogue,
is designed for junior and senior high school teachers of
history, social studies, religious studies and English. The
subsidized conference fee is $75. Applications are now available
by contacting the ADL at (310) 446-8000, ext. 229.
