Harold A. Winstead (HAW) Youth Interactive Program Holocaust Education for Middle and High School Students

Augmented Reality Teaching Tool. This app is an invaluable educational tool featuring Holocaust survivors and children of survivors sharing their powerful stories. Each testimony is paired with thoughtfully designed, curriculum-aligned materials to support classroom learning. In the classroom, students can point their device at an image or object, and a hologram of a survivor will appear to share their story. Click here to download the app. When opening the app, please allow a moment for it to load.
