Kate McGerity has worked in the Cotati Rohnert Park Unified School District for over 25 years. She is pleased to have worked with both middle school and high school students as well as help develop an organization for assisting survivors of The Holocaust in preparing them for their classroom visits. The  speakers provide opportunity for genocide education for students in grades 5 – 12. They offer family history stories from the wide variety of experiences Jewish families endured during World War II, ranging from internment in forced labor and concentration camps, survival in hiding or living “under cover,” to having barely escaped from Europe before borders were closed when the war started. Kate has also assisted speakers with their in-person presentations in the North Bay and entire Bay Area, California and has developed their in person presentations to viewed in Youtube. These pre-recorded story videos assist classes via Zoom or video conferencing for schools outside the Bay Area and throughout the U.S.
