Journey with Howard Chandler
Idea
Journey with Howard Chandler is a forthcoming mobile application for iPhone and iPad, that will feature intimate interview footage of Holocaust Survivor Howard Chandler as he tells his life story, from childhood, through the Holocaust, and beyond. This experience will capture and preserve the core of what makes Classrooms Without Border’s Poland Personally trip special: Howard Chandler’s incredible story, presence, spirit and passion for Holocaust education.
Our Approach
The app lets users interact with Howard’s interview, selecting questions to ask Howard and hear his firsthand account. Educators and students on the Poland Personally study seminar will be able to engage virtually with Howard and integrate his story into the greater educational experience provided by Classrooms Without Borders while in Poland. In the classroom, teachers can use the app to engage virtually between Howard and their students in an interview-like setting.
The mission of this project is to preserve the incredible, personal and educational impact that Howard Chandler brings to educators, students, and the CWB community for years to come.
