Regina introduces background material to students

On April 13, 2005, Regina and Sue traveled to Santa Fe to do a presentation on stereotyping.  Materials, involving photos taken of people who lived during the time of the Holocaust, were taken from a teacher kit from the Imperial War Museum in London, England.  Students were asked to guess whether the photos were of victims, perpetrators, helpers, or bystanders.  The adage, "You can't judge a book by its cover," certainly was appropriate.
