Overview of Offerings for Educators
The Breman is committed to serving students and teachers from a broad spectrum of schools. We offer: guided class visits; pre- and post-visit curriculum materials; a Holocaust Survivor Speakers Bureau; library resources, including ready-to-use lesson plan packs and videos; and professional development workshops for educators and lifelong learners. All our programs meet Georgia Quality Core Curriculum Standards (QCCS).
The Breman and its Weinberg Center for Holocaust Education also provide informal training opportunities for teachers who are interested in learning more about incorporating Holocaust history or Jewish heritage and ideas into their curricula.
In addition to scheduled teacher-training events, staff development workshops can be arranged for your school or district. Individual teachers are also welcome to consult with us about specific areas of need.

Exhibition catalogue for Seeking Justice: The Leo Frank Case Revisited
Thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered at the National Pencil Company, where she was employed. Leo Frank, the Jewish factory superintendent, was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Georgia’s governor commuted Frank’s sentence to life in prison, but Frank, kidnapped from his cell, was lynched by a mob of prominent citizens.
Ironically, the case ignited a fervor that led to both the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan and the reaffirmation of the mission of the Anti-Defamation League.This case was the driving force behind a number of Supreme Court rulings that redefined due process, and it sparked decades of debate over Frank’s innocence.
The catalogue features an introduction by
Eli N. Evans; "A Model of the New South," by Andy Ambrose; "Lynching," by Clifford Kuhn; "The Press & the Frank Case by Steve Oney; "Screening a Lynching: The Leo Frank Case on Film & TV," by Dr. Matthew H. Bernstein; "The Frank Case & the Law," by Leonard Dinnerstein;
and complete images and text from the exhibition by Sandra Berman & Jane Leavey.
