  Quote from Dr. Paul B. Winkler:  I had the opportunity last week to participate in a student program and a teacher in-service presented by Living Voices.  Living Voices includes the unique combination of live theater and archival file techniques to examine history and brings lessons for today's audiences including issues of prejudice, bullying and social justice.

  The program may be reviewed on their web site http://www.livingvoices.org/.

  The program supports our idea of teaching about bias, prejudice, bigotry and the Holocaust and genocide through the Arts.
