Natalie Petro, a teacher at The Catholic High School of Baltimore, knew one thing for sure. With antisemitism rising across the country, she knew how important it was to educate her students about hatred and teach them tolerance and respect.
That’s why, several years ago, she participated in the Holocaust Educator’s Institute, a three-day professional development program offered at that time by the Baltimore Jewish Council (BJC) and Jewish Museum of Maryland.
Inspired by the experience, she began incorporating curriculum into her classroom and taking students to Lessons of the Shoah, co-sponsored by the BJC and the Klein Family Foundation.
