According to David Field, Vice President of the Board for the Memorial Library, Harbaugh was invited because of his outstanding leadership and work in Holocaust education for the past several summers and for the ongoing leadership and work in the years to come. Last summer Harbaugh led a workshop on Holocaust and social justice education for Michigan teachers in Kalamazoo and Farmington Hills, and his work was featured in The Kalamazoo Gazette and The New York Times Edublog last August. He was also interviewed in September for a national radio broadcast featuring a lesson he helped develop to remember and help students understand the significance of the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on our country. The lesson was used by teachers across Michigan, and across the country.

Harbaugh also recently developed a lesson for teachers to be distributed by The Shoah Foundation in Los Angeles, the organization founded by Steven Spielberg after the filming of Schindler’s List. The Shoah Foundation named Harbaugh a Master Teacher in July, 2011 for his work integrating Holocaust education with cutting edge digital teaching and learning technology. Harbaugh will return to Los Angeles this summer to continue work with The Shoah Foundation.

Congratulations, Corey, on such an amazing opportunity!
