Episode Details

Julie Mewhort Klein returned from a haunting trip to Poland, visiting Auschwitz and other Holocaust sites with fellow educators — an experience she called “incredibly powerful” and “greater than she imagined.” There, she gained firsthand knowledge to bring back to her Oak Park students, emphasizing humanity over horror. She’s also trained in using AI for Holocaust education, navigating the challenge of distinguishing real survivor testimonies from AI-generated imagery. With deep responsibility, Klein aims to help students connect emotionally and intellectually to history — not just through facts, but through her own presence at the sites, confidently telling students, “I know because I stood in the gas chamber at Auschwitz. I was there.” Her mission: to ensure the Holocaust’s lessons are remembered, taught with truth, and never forgotten.
