Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2012) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, Karen; Glanz, JeffreyThe Holocaust and Heroism: Examines the various ways in which Jews acted in response to the slow and systematic humiliation, separation, exclusion, deprivation, ghettoization, internment, slave labor, and, ultimately, the destruction of their communities and the deportation and murder of their friends and families. This issue examines the complexities involved in Jewish religious, spiritual, and physical resistance during the Holocaust and concludes that the question should not be why there was so little resistance but how there was so much.Item Open Access PRISM ; Spring 2013 (5)(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2013) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, Karen; Glanz, JeffreyOur 2013 issue explores the Kindertransport and other attempts at large-scale rescue of Jewish children. Among the unique and classroom-ready pieces within are a Readers' Theater piece on the Kindertransport, along with the background on its original production in England; an introduction to the Centropa website, highlighting the story of Lily Tauber, a Kindertransport survivor; and narrative and poetic testimony from two Kinder saved by Nicholas Winton.Item Open Access PRISM ; Spring 2014 (6).(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2014) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration; Shawn, Karen; Sokolow, MosheHere we present our first unthemed issue. It offers, as usual, historical research, pedagogy, literature, poetry, documentary photographs, and paintings—but on a variety of topics and themes that illustrate the particular passions and expertise of authors whose subjects may not warrant an entire journal but whose essays are too valuable to miss. We are particularly pleased to feature the art of Nancy Patz, and to share essays from teacher practitioners and professors, whose creative and passionate work highlights the necessity and value of providing a sound historical foundation as well as opportunities for student engagement and active learning in every classroom.Item Open Access Prism ; Spring 2015 (7).(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2015) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, KarenChild Survivors: Experiences During and After The Holocaust: In our 7th issue, we proudly feature the Viennese-based institute Centropa, the Central Europe Center for Research and Documentation, “where Jewish history has a name, a face, a story.” We highlight teachers’ classroom experiences using the extensive archive at centropa.org. Works by new contributors from around the world grace these pages, most notably from the Israeli writer Etgar Keret. Other highlights include a new focus on teaching about Kristallnacht from London’s Wiener Library; essays on graphic writing, cartoons, apps, and websites for high school and college classroom use; an essay, interspersed with the author’s original poetry, on the Sephardic experience; and an essay on using Nuremberg Trials documentary testimony-turned-poetry in the university classroom.Item Open Access PRISM ; Spring 2018 (10)(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2018) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, Karen; Sokolow, MosheWelcome to our 10th-anniversary issue! We take this opportunity to thank our thousands of readers in over 40 countries and in every American state, especially those who graciously take the time to write appreciative notes to us and to send much-needed donations. This anniversary marks our second open-themed issue, so the offerings within are wide-ranging. They include memoirs, biographies, historical analyses, pedagogical essays, including one on Holocaust films; personal narratives, and, as always, wonderful poetry and stunning artwork.Item Open Access PRISM ; Spring 2019 (11)(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2019) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, Karen; Sokolow, MosheThis issue, our 11th, offers history, art, an interview with the renowned Israel Gutman, and works from survivors, children of survivors, artists, photographers, and poets who have a personal story to tell, who captured our theme of “turning points” exactly by sharing instances of understanding, grief, confusion, shock, loss, or simply reflection on what Lawrence L. Langer has called moments of “optionless anguish” that would forever shadow the lives of those who experienced them. We also pay tribute to the historian David S. Wyman, a gentle scholar who passed away in 2018; and to the Israeli writer Nava Semel, who succumbed to cancer at the age of 63.Item Open Access PRISM. Spring 2016 (8)(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2016) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, KarenPortraits: Individual Jews and Their Lives Before, During, and After the Holocaust: Though the Holocaust is taught as a progression of events spanning 12 years, the Jews in its grip lived it as a sequence of moments. It is these moments—the unfolding of individual thoughts, reflections, feelings, conversations, and actions during the Holocaust and in its aftermath—that the photography, testimony, poetry, and short stories in this issue endeavor to capture. Each presents unique details of the Jewish experience that help students understand the Holocaust through the eyes of those who lived it.Item Open Access PRISM. Spring 2017 (9)(New York, NY: Yeshiva University. Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration., 2017) Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration, /; Shawn, Karen; Sokolow, MosheThe theme of this 9th issue is the end of innocence. We explore moments of knowing: When and how did Americans learn about the events in Europe? What happened when the Holocaust, or any particular aspect of it, became known to those directly affected by it? to those uninvolved who later became aware of the events—perhaps from word of mouth, perhaps from newspapers? What happens to a child of survivors whose inchoate knowing becomes adult understanding? to a member of the third generation who learns the truth about his heritage only as an adolescent? What happens today to a student unrelated to Jews whose innocence is ended by a history class, a piece of literature, or a film? Once one knows, what is the next step, and how does that step differ from person to person? How does such new knowledge inspire and affect university students who plan to become teachers?
