8 Federation Star July/August 2018 COMMUNITY FOCUS HOLOCAUST MUSEUM & COHEN EDUCATION CENTER www.holocaustmuseumswfl.org / 239-263-9200 Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center update Susan Suarez President & CEO As I attend community meetings around town, I am heartened by the positive comments I hear about our Museum and its Education programs. People are aware of us for a variety of reasons – their child’s Museum Field Trip or participation in a program presented by Museum Educators at their school. Often, people note attending a Museum program or event, or taking a tour with family and friends. Since 2001, our mission has been to educate students and Museum visitors about the dangers of indifference against the backdrop of the largest genocide ever to occur – the Holocaust. We’ve taught them to think about their own responsibility to end hatred in our society, and encouraged them to take action against bigotry, hatred and violence. Our longstanding partners in this endeavor have been the teachers of Southwest Florida. In addition to offering student education programs and classroom resources for their schools, the Museum has also provided education workshops for the teachers themselves. These seminars aid teachers in fulfilling the State of Florida mandate requiring all school districts to incorporate Holocaust education for their K-12 classes. Thanks to a generous grant from the Merrill Kuller Education Series, the Museum is again hosting its annual Summer Teacher Workshop. Three dates are offered this year to better fit into teachers’ busy schedules: Monday, June 11; Monday, July 23; and Wednesday, August 1. The day-long sessions run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Over the years, the Summer Teacher Workshops have offered a variety of presentation topics on Holocaust history geared to engage teachers of students in grades K-12. In addition to the specialized content, teachers receive a docent-led tour of the Museum and hear a first-person account of the Holocaust from a survivor or camp liberator. Workshops have also included presentations by area, regional, national and international scholars and experts on the Holocaust. The 2018 Summer Workshop theme is School for Barbarians - How to Raise a Nazi. It examines how the Nazis used propaganda to indoctrinate German youth during WWII. The title borrows from the 1938 book by Erika Mann, School for Barbarians: Education Under the Nazis. Mann’s exposé depicted a real-time concern for the role of National Socialism and its core principles as they related to that day’s youth: destruction of the family and religion; control of teachers, school and curriculum; and inculcation into the State Youth Program. Unfortunately, Mann’s concerns were realized in the years that followed publication of School for Barbarians. The manipulation of German children by the state began at an early age in their homes and was continued by their teachers at school, as well as in youth group environments. The workshop is free of charge to attend. All active teachers of grades 5-12 in Collier, Charlotte, Glades, Hendry, Lee and Sarasota counties are invited to attend. Workshop participants will earn Continuing Education Points; a meal and light refreshments will also be provided. If you know a public, private, religious or home-school teacher who might be interested in attending, please let them know about the workshop. They can contact Museum Education Specialist Sam Parish for more information at sam@holocaustmuseumswfl.org or 239.263.9200. As we go to press, the Museum was awarded a 2018 “Certificate of Excellence” from TripAdvisor, joining our 2018 repeat designation as “Best of the Gulfshore” from readers of Gulfshore Life magazine. Also, TripAdvisor has ranked the Museum as # 6 on its “Things to Do in Naples,” up from the previous ranking of #11. I invite you to visit our current exhibit, I Witness, featuring photographic portraits honoring the survivors, liberators and witnesses who have shared their stories with us in our Oral Visual History Project. Photographer Erik Kellar took these dramatic b&w portraits as part of the Museum’s 10 th anniversary celebration. Several of the portraits on display are accompanied by short video compilations, created by Education Specialist David Nelson and taken from the Museum’s Oral Visual History Project testimonies. The exhibit will be on display through October 31, 2018. On behalf of the Museum board, staff and volunteers, we wish you a safe and happy summer. We hope you will include a stop at the Museum in your plans! Naples Senior Center at JFCS update Dr. Jaclynn Faffer JFCS President/ CEO As I always say, we are a datadriven society.

Individuals report having difficulty accessing information about programs and services that may be of assistance (most use traditional media sources such as newspaper, radio and TV). A sample of the individuals over age 60 report that they do not feel they are considered a population of need. There are concerns about affordable housing among the sample of groups participating in the focus groups. Programs and services at the Naples Senior Center have grown dramatically to meet senior needs. Clearly, we have more to do! We know that with the help of our generous community and the commitment of our board and staff we will step up to the plate! Tributes Tributes require a minimum donation of $18.

Sandalwood Village’s active, independent residents feel right at home with no HOA or buy-in fees Active, independent adults 55 and older will feel at home at Sandalwood Village, a unique apartment community that helps create a unique and fulfilling lifestyle for residents with zero buy-in or Homeowners’ Association (HOA) fees. The moment you walk through the front doors, you enter a sprawling clubhouse filled with warm, welcoming, friendly staff and residents, truly luxurious recreation and living spaces, and opportunities to live the life you deserve. The community’s on-site activities director develops dynamic programs on a weekly and monthly basis. Health and wellness workshops, educational seminars, social gatherings and local excursions are available to every resident at no additional cost through Sandalwood Village’s award-winning SUN® (Senior Umbrella Network) Program. The SUN ® Program offers residents the opportunity to participate in a wide-range of services and activities designed to foster and support independent living and to enhance the active-adult lifestyle. To say residents simply “take part” in the SUN Program is an understatement. Just ask Mary Ann Sundin who has been a resident at Sandalwood Village since 2015 and helps facilitate the community’s fitness and wellness programs. “When my daughter and I visited the community it just felt right, people feel comfortable here and at home. I really appreciate everything the SUN Program has to offer, balance class, chair yoga, aqua aerobics, and other classes I try to attend a few times a week. There really is something for everyone.” Like Mary Ann, Bertie Rivara, one of Sandalwood Village’s first residents after moving from New York, felt right at home after touring Sandalwood Village. “I was living by myself at home in front of the television”, said Bertie, whose son lives in Naples and talked her into visiting the community. “We were so welcomed the moment we stepped foot in the door, and I’ve loved every moment since, I love the people here; the staff and residents.” Even with a full calendar of on-site activities each day, the residents still find time to go out on the town. The SUN Program offers free transportation aboard a comfortable and convenient bus, driven by Sandalwood Village’s Transportation Specialist to various grocery stores, pharmacies, libraries, shopping centers, casinos, and restaurants throughout Naples and Southwest Florida. On evenings in residents often take the short walk to the clubhouse to mingle with neighbors, laugh, enjoy food and drinks, and occasionally sing and dance the night away to live entertainment. During the day, the clubhouse serves as the epicenter of fitness and health activities, including weekly aqua aerobics classes in the heated pool, Pilates, and yoga. When it’s time to stop socializing and retire for the night, residents sleep in the privacy of their own luxury apartment homes. Each apartment home provides a full-sized washer and dryer, a patio or balcony, a bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, and a state-of-the-art fully-applianced kitchen with granite countertops. The monthly rent for each Sandalwood Village apartment includes maintenance-fee living, compliments of our experienced team. Apartments also include heat, hot water, standard cable, WiFi, and sewer and trash removal. A complimentary expanded continental breakfast is hosted Monday through Saturday in the clubhouse. If you want to learn more about how Sandalwood Village can be the perfect new home for you or your loved one, call 239-221-6413 or visit www.sandalwoodvillage.com to schedule a tour today.
