KSU Museum of History & Holocaust Education

Calling All University Professors: We know many professors are planning their in-person, online, and hybrid courses for the summer and the Museum of History and Holocaust Education is here to help! Our free university-level modules are a great resource for in-person, online, and hybrid courses. With over 30 modules covering topics that extend beyond World War II and the Holocaust, our museum is here to help you prepare for next semester! Including a diverse range of primary a...nd secondary source materials, these student-paced modules are perfect supplements to any university course. These modules were great because they had a lot of visuals to go along with the information provided. They were visually appealing and helped me stay engaged and focused with the material. - Student Participant Preview one of our modules, From Revolution to Empire: Germany 1848 to 1871, here: http://ow.ly/t9Bw50ERnYx Check out our offerings and request access to these free resources on our website: http://ow.ly/IS0K50ERnYy
