Why is this important when dealing with a subject like the Holocaust? When a society has the potential to advance and change so quickly, as ours does, it is important to keep up with the times. Can you imagine an entire generation of children losing out on a Holocaust education just because the learning resources are not available to them?
This is exactly what Clevermore LLC plans to prevent with the app for Brisko: A True Tale of Survival (sign up for the first chapter free.) The Brisko app will be a fully interactive book. The story is an amazing true account of how a little girl must survive for eighteen months in a haystack. Brisko the dog is her family's only chance of escaping the Holocaust alive. The resources bottled with the app will be groundbreaking, including audio of the Survivor herself reading the tale. There will be maps, video, and external web links. Discussion capabilities will be built in for a student on one side of the country to compare notes with someone in a classroom on the other side of our nation. The technology is here. The last Survivors of the Holocaust will not be with us forever. The time is now to step into the next generation for Holocaust education.
