CANDLES Museum to sponsor three teachers on trip to Auschwitz

Anonymous The Tribune Star Tue Sep 08, 2009, 05:39 PM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center is sponsoring three Vigo County teachers in 2010. Apply now for the trip, including a tour of Auschwitz with survivor Eva Kor.

Kor will lead a group tour of the Nazi death camp Jan. 24-30 in Poland for the 65th anniversary of the liberation. Sponsorship includes airfare, all ground transportation, hotel accommodations, and two meals per day for a week.

If interested in applying, e-mail answers to the following questions to evakor@abcs.com or mail to CANDLES Holocaust Museum, ATTN: Auschwitz Trip, 1532 S. 3rd St., Terre Haute, IN 47802.

1. What are your qualifications as a teacher for this opportunity?

2. What is your motivation to go on the trip?

3. How do you plan to use this experience in the classroom?

Application deadline is Oct. 2.

Can your school, company or church help us sponsor another teacher? E-mail kiel@candlesholocaustmuseum.org if you can help.

Limited space is available for anyone interested. Total cost is $2,000, which includes the above accommodations. For more information, or if you’re interested in taking the trip, call (812) 234-7881 or e-mail candles@candlesholocaustmuseum.org.

CANDLES to help students visit museum

Budget cutbacks caused by the economic downturn are resulting in fewer field trips for students. Education about hatred and prejudice is still needed. CANDLES will assist a limited number of teachers in making a field trip to the museum possible this school year.

Teachers should contact the museum for assistance. Scholarships will be awarded on a rolling basis until the fund is depleted. E-mail kiel@candlesholocaustmuseum.org with a description of your students, Holocaust curriculum and the class’s needs.

Groups of under 100 cost $5 per person; more than 100 cost $3 per person. The museum is open year-round from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday or by appointment for groups.
