Local teachers benefit from Seton Hill program on Holocaust, genocide education - Quincey Reese, Trib Live

For Leticia Fournier, the religious affiliation of Christ the Divine Teacher School in Latrobe makes education on the Holocaust even more important. Fournier has taught the school’s Holocaust studies course for eight years. First launched in 2004, the class was a partnership with nearby Beth Israel synagogue, which closed in 2015. “I think our Catholic school curriculum allows us to pull in the topic easily,” said Fournier, 59, of Latrobe, “because we look at persecutions of Christians, persecutions of Christ and what you can do as a Christian … to help protect other people and speak up.” Fournier credits her confidence in teaching the subject to Seton Hill’s genocide and Holocaust education program — which will be offered for a third year this spring.
