Description
How do you present emotionally challenging content to your audience in a way that they might connect with, rather than be overwhelmed? I interview Kelley Szany at Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center about strategies and tactics they use to help visitors connect with holocaust and genocide content. We discuss the art of storytelling, the concept of rescuing the individual, floor guide tactics to help visitors move from emotional to cognitive responses, and more.
