Questions are more important than answers: Creating collaborative workshop spaces with Holocaust survivor-educators in Montreal

This project grew out of an education working group, one of seven groups that made up the Montreal Life Stories project at Concordia University in Montreal. Its goal was to explore how to integrate the life stories of those who survived mass violence into Quebec's high school curriculum. Employing in-depth life history interviews, they created spaces where survivors could talk about their Holocaust experiences and how they have constructed, communicated and shaped their narratives in the years since. A team of interviewers conducted multiple interviews with 19 Holocaust survivor-educators. Members of this group of Ashkenazi Jews have a range of Holocaust experiences and come from a variety of European countries
