Dr. Batya Brutin Awarded Yad Vashem Holocaust Education Lifetime Achievement Award

Dr. Batya Brutin, Director of Beit Berl College’s Holocaust Teaching program, was awarded the Yad Vashem Holocaust Achievement Award for promoting Holocaust education and preserving the memory of the Holocaust.  Dr. Brutin was one of the founders of Beit Berl's Holocaust Education Program in 1994. She has served as the Pedagogical Coordinator and Head of the program for 18 years. She designed the program based on a multi-disciplinary approach to the Holocaust - the history and commemoration of the Holocaust, literature, cinema and popular culture. Dr. Brutin herself developed the journeys to Poland in a pedagogic way to train educational workers to lead them.

Dr. Brutin’s research is the intersection between history, art and pedagogy, dealing with the commemoration of the Holocaust in monuments in Israel and around the world. Her doctoral research was awarded by the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem. Dr. Brutin wrote the instructional materials used in schools by the Pedagogical Secretariat in the Ministry of Education. Her research is published in international journals and she lectures at international conferences.

Dr. Brutin is an art lecturer, pedagogic instructor and curator, with a focus on the subject of the Holocaust. She recently curated the controversial group exhibit, Violated: Women in Holocaust and Genocide, at the Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York. The groundbreaking exhibition documented sexual violence towards women in the Holocaust and made headlines​ worldwide.
