We Share The Same Sky

IN THE CLASSROOM

IWitness & Echoes & Reflections classroom materials

Using photographs, video, audio, archival documents, testimony, and personal stories, Rachael brings her grandmother’s story, entwined with her own journey, into classrooms and communities worldwide. She works with with students of all ages from as young as fourth grade through adult education. The story is available as a narrative podcast, a book, storytelling workshops, or as art-based programming.

We Share The Same Sky has been used in curriculums developed by and for Discovery Education, USC Shoah Foundation, Echoes & Reflections, Facing History & Ourselves, Jewish Women’s Archive and others. She collaborated with USC Shoah Foundation’s award-winning educational platforms IWitness and Echoes & Reflections to develop classroom-ready resources to accompany her podcast, We Share The Same Sky, which was the first-ever narrative podcast to be based on a Holocaust survivor’s testimony. Those resources are free and now being used in classrooms across the country.

We Share The Same Sky: A Memoir of Memory & Migration is available in hardcover, paperback and audiobook (read by the author). The book includes photographs and can be purchased as a classroom set. It is accompanied by a discussion guide that was also developed in partnership with Echoes & Reflections. Rachael is available to visit classrooms via Zoom or in-person.
