For two days last week, ICJA’s driveway was home to the Mobile Museum of Tolerance, an initiative of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Each history class paid a visit to the Museum, where students learned about battling hatred, antisemitism, propaganda, and bigotry.

Half of students completed the Museum’s training program on identifying and responding to online extremism. Using iPads, students learned how to identify extremist content and how to report troubling posts. Other students completed the Museum’s program on propaganda. Taking the Nazi experience as an example, students learned about different elements of propaganda and discussed specific issues of Nazi propaganda, gaining skills in identifying and combatting propaganda in the process.

Thank you to former ICJA parent Alison Slovin, Midwest Direcor of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, for bringing this wonderful resource to ICJA.
