An exciting professional development event for area high school and college instructors. AATF-Houston will welcome Dr. Eileen Angelini, Professor of French and Chair of the Department of Modern Languages at Canisius College (Buffalo, NY). Dr. Angelini, along with Barbara P. Barnett, produced and directed the documentary film La France Divisée, which explores events in France during the World War II from many perspectives.

After a screening of the film (approx. 30 minutes), Professor Angelini will guide attendees through an interactive session on the film's uses and general best practices in teaching the Holocaust. The session will be conducted in English and will use images and other pedagogical materials that will be provided to all. High school teachers and college instructors of history and sociology will also benefit from attending.
