# [A Valentine's Day Love Letter to Fellow Educators (and to Facing History and Ourselves)](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/a-love-letter-to-facing-history)

Over the past number of years, I have developed quite a lot of love for Facing History and Ourselves.  So much so that I thought this Valentine’s Day I would share my love to other educators by sharing five incredible resources, approaches and strategies that Facing History and Ourselves has to offer that I hope will be a gift to fellow teachers and to your classrooms.

# [A Note About Facing History- From a Facing History Student](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/a-note-about-facing-history-from-a-facing-history-student)

“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” How many of us have heard this quote or a variation of it? Sayings like these are repeated so often nowadays that they have lost meaning. People will complain, “I don’t need you to lecture me, I already *know* all this,” “The past is the past, leave it behind where it belongs,” or a blatant dismissal from those who are so cemented in the *now*, that they refuse to see the truth right in front of them.

***A collaboration between Facing History and Ourselves and the Azrieli Foundation's Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program, first posted on [Azrieli Memoirs' Blog page](http://memoirs.azrielifoundation.org/articles-and-excerpts/what-genocide-really-means).***

Words referencing mass atrocities of the past, such as fascist, racist, Nazi, genocide and Holocaust, carry deep historical meaning, yet these words are often misused in reference to contemporary events. Using these words too casually not only diminishes the meaning of the words themselves, but also diminishes the events that the words represent.   In this blog post, we look to remember the meaning of the term genocide and the conditions that drove a lawyer named Raphael Lemkin to coin this term to describe a horrific crime — a crime that prior to 1944 lacked a name and legal repercussions.

We work with so many amazing educators who give their students exceptional learning experiences. For this blog, we sat down with history teacher and **2017 Governor General's Award for Excellence in Teaching History Award winner Rob Flosman** to find out what he has learned about engaging students and communities in learning history through building a classroom museum, **[the Waterdown Museum of History](https://waterdownmuseumofhope.ca/)**.

The students in my *Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity* course gained new and meaningful perspectives on what life was like for those targeted for extermination by the Nazi regime by creating a unique and innovative art exhibition that explored the lives of young victims of the Holocaust.

# [Students of Facing History](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/students-of-facing-history/)

As an educator I often wonder what students remember once they have left my classroom. It is my hope that when they leave they take with them critical thinking skills, the ability to engage in difficult conversations, and a deeper understanding of how we are all connected - in the past, present, and future. Through all of my various attempts to learn from my students what they are getting out of their [Facing History and Ourselves](https://www.facinghistory.org/) class, I have found that the best way to find out what students are learning is to ask them.

Each year, at the end of our grade 11 elective Facing History and Ourselves course, [Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity](http://www.tdsb.on.ca/DesktopModules/Tdsb.Webteam.Modules.SPC/CourseDescriptionPopup.aspx?courseID=420_20142015_CHG381), we take the time to reflect on our learning and ourselves. This year a group of students from my classroom chose to participate in a reflective interview process in lieu of their final journal entry assignment, and agreed to share their reflections.

Below, as inspired by the popular blog [Humans of New York](http://www.humansofnewyork.com/) and the Facing History project, [Humans of the Woodlands](https://www.facinghistory.org/innovation-grants-2014/ontario), you'll have the chance to glimpse into the classroom learning and life of a few of my Facing History and Ourselves students.

In 2013, Waterdown District High School teacher Robert Flosman applied for and won a [Margot Stern Strom Innovation Grant](https://www.facinghistory.org/for-educators/educator-network/innovation-grants)to create a Museum of History in his classroom as a way to engage students deeply and differently in the study of history. In November 2014, he wrote [a post](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/turning-a-classroom-into-a-museum/) for this blog describing his museum. One year later, Rob has more to tell us about the museum Facing History and Ourselves’ grant made possible.
