PHILIP HANDY, Chairman T. WILLARD FAIR, Vice Chairman Members LINDA J. EADS, ED.D. CHARLES PATRICK GARCÍA JULIA L. JOHNSON WILLIAM L. PROCTOR, PH.D. LINDA K. TAYLOR April 5, 2004 Dear Educator: We are pleased to present a resource manual created by the Commissioner’s Task Force on Holocaust Education. This is a manual provided to teachers of intermediate students in grades 4• 6 to use when discussing the Holocaust and addressing the sensitive topics of intolerance, prejudice, and war. The contents of some of these novels are sensitive, and educators should preview the materials before presenting them to the students. We encourage you to utilize this manual and help your students gain a deeper understanding and empathy for those who have survived these events. The Holocaust and the effects of war and prejudice carry vital lessons that must be taught if our communities, our states, and our world are to overcome barriers to greater learning. I encourage you to use this new and unique resource as a starting point to teach students what it means to be a responsible and respectful individual. Together, let us build bridges and foster unity within our community, country, and the world. Sincerely, Jim Horne JH/ab 325 W.

Hofrichter Harold Wishna Tom Harkan Rositta Kenigsberg, Founding Chair Dr. Joe A. Iannone Rabbi Bruce Warshal, Chair Special thanks to Holocaust survivor Rita G. Hofrichter for her contribution to this project. Additional thanks to Rositta Kenigsberg and Merle Saferstein for their tireless efforts in the completion of this resource manual. 3 Notes to the Teacher Building peace in our world is a monumental task. We cannot erase from our collective memory the horrors of war, prejudice, and discrimination. Unfortunately, there are still instances of racism, violence and discrimination in our society today. While the Holocaust took place over fifty years ago, it is our responsibility to make children aware of the horrors that can accompany racism and intolerance of ethnic and religious differences. We can begin to do this by educating our children about the past. This resource can provide teachers the opportunity to discuss the Holocaust through literature and carefully structured age appropriate activities that encourage children to think critically about ways to coexist within a diverse society. This manual was developed for use with students in grades 4-6. The objectives for each unit are cognitive and affective in nature. The students learn about the Holocaust through historical fiction, biographies, and informational reading selections. This manual is intended to bridge the gap between character education-the focus of the K-3 State of Florida Resource Manual on Holocaust Education-and the secondary grades, where the Holocaust

  • 1O1 Most Influential Latinos
    Contributors: Kristian Jaime Kimberly Olguin 1O1 MOST INFLUENTIAL LATINOS As usual, these are not all of the leaders, but those in the list are all leaders. Fantastic leaders with a diverse activity, all of them advancing Latinos all over the country and all across industries and professions. All of the leaders included have proven an actual influence on the national scene, not only for the Hispanic community but for the entire country. From lawyers to cabinet members, from media personalities to powerful business figures, this list is a snap shot of the power and influence of Latinos in the US today. Newcomers, like Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has a powerful voice in the entertainment industry, or Agustin Arteaga, the only Latino with the title of Director at one of the most important museums of art in the country, or Andre Arbelaez, who may be the most respected voice for Latinos in the hi-tech industry, make this list a very special one. 1O1 We hope you enjoy reading who they are, where they live, what has been their professional path and even contact them, for these are the leaders forging the future of America. 001 R • Mexican-American 2017 Ruben Salazar Award Alcaraz is best known for his comic La Cucaracha, the first nation- • 1964 in San Diego, CA for Communication at National ally syndicated, politically themed Latino daily comic strip.

  • Charles Patrick Garcia Founder of Sterling Financial Investment Group
    Charles Patrick Garcia Founder of Sterling Financial Investment Group Charles Patrick Garcia has incredible energy. He is known to begin his workday at 5am and stay on task until almost midnight, and his intensity is certainly one of the keys to his success. His company, Sterling Financial Investment Group, has grown 3,000 percent since it inception only three years ago. While cries of recession inspired hiring freezes and e-commerce companies collapsed like houses of cards, Garcia's company "trounced Wall Street". In January 2001, the University of Florida identified Sterling Financial as the fastest growing privately held firm in the State of Florida and the fastest growing minority owned firm. But personal success is not enough for Garcia, a former Air Force captain who has always been imbued with a keen sense of volunteerism and a desire to give back to others. When Garcia takes an objective look at the circumstances of Hispanics in Florida, he sees a national emergency. Garcia devotes 20 percent of the time from his marathon workday, as well as sizeable chunks of his own money, to focus on one compelling goal---to elevate the status and economic power of Florida's Hispanic community on a statewide level. "My main focus is helping the Hispanic community and I do that in a variety of ways. We are the fastest growing minority owned firm in the state---if we can do it, others can do it too. I think it's a tragedy that 40 percent of Hispanics do not graduate from high school," Garcia says.
