Resource Guide Helps Educators, Parents and Students to Navigate ADL’s Collection of Educational and Anti-Bias Resources
New York, NY, November 5, 1999 … The full complement of educational materials,
videos, posters, curriculum guides and books available from the Anti-Defamation League
(ADL) is now accessible in catalogue form. Updated to include the most current ADL
educational and resource material, ADL Resources for Classroom and Community
is being distributed to schools, parents, organizations and communities.
Resources offers an easily navigable and all-inclusive guide to the League’s
vast collection of videos, textbooks, lesson plans, posters and other materials. There are
more than 200 titles in all, including 50 new to the catalogue and eight new ADL resources
for educators.
The League’s collection serves many uses. The materials range from videos and
books on anti-Semitism and prejudice, to anti-bias training resources, materials on
Holocaust denial and revisionism, historical and contextual materials on Israel and the
Middle East, and reports on church-state issues and interfaith religious affairs. As a
standard-bearer on these and other subjects, ADL has developed a broad range of materials
and information over the years to help explain and teach the issues effectively across all
age groups.
This year’s Resources guide offers several materials new to the ADL
library, including:
- The A WORLD OF DIFFERENCEÒInstitute Selected Bibliography
of Children’s Books, a list of 500 children’s books that make diversity a
central theme.
- The ADL Dreyfus Affair Poster Exhibit, a collection of 16 color posters telling
the story of the arrest, conviction and punishment of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus in
turn-of-the-century France. The exhibit documents how anti-Semitism was pervasive in that
period and includes a 12-minute video and comprehensive exhibit guide.
- A set of five new Holocaust videos, the Rescue Video Series, highlighting acts of
moral courage at this century’s darkest hour.
- A Web site guide: www.adl.org provides educators, parents and other interested parties
with electronic access to a wealth of educational materials. The online Tools For
Teachers page provides elementary, middle and high school educators with lesson plans,
teaching tips and useful classroom resources.
- Videos developed by ADL’s Education Division, including A Winning Strategy: A
Workplace of Difference Discussion Vignettes and The Student Diversity Panel.
The Resources catalogue has been distributed to 70,000 educators nationwide in
grades K-12, including administrators, librarians, Jewish day schools, a select college
audience, and others. The 40-page catalogue is illustrated, cross-referenced and available
at no cost from ADL.
