Who can teach future generations not to repeat the horrors and crimes of the past? Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein, and Morris Dees, an Alabama Civil Rights activist, have both dedicated their lives to teaching tolerance, and to ending hatred, bigotry and racism. These two internationally acclaimed figures recently spoke together for the very first time, right here at WHYY. We'll hear excerpts from this riveting conversation during which Weissmann Klein and Dees shared their life lessons. Weissmann Klein has written several books, among them "All but my Life." In 1998, she helped found the Gerda and Kurt Klein Foundation, which was formed to teach students about the importance of tolerance, respect and responsibility through character education and community service. Morris Dees is one of the founders of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Center is internationally known for its tolerance education programs, and its legal victories against white supremacists and other hate groups. The SPLC's Teaching Tolerance program provides schools with free educational materials that aim to teach respect for differences and appreciation of diversity. The SPLC and the Klein Foundation teamed up to create a teaching kit about the Holocaust and Gerda's life, and over 60,000 of these kits have been distributed for free to schools all over the country. To find out more about these organizations and the teaching kit: 5/22/06 A violent death brings a different kind of grief to the surviving family members and loved ones. Those left behind may experience intense feelings of guilt, anger, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and years of dealing with legal ramifications. Philadelphia therapist Kathleen O'Hara knows both sides of this coin: As a therapist, she has counseled many people through this kind of grief. As a mother, she saw her worst nightmare realized when her college-age son Aaron was murdered on Memorial Day, 1999. In her new book, "A Grief Like No Other" O'Hara recalls her own journey after Aaron's death, and offers guidance and steps for families and friends who are grieving. 5/29/06 |
