Holocaust Center Student Volunteer Program
The Next Chapter
The Next Chapter is a volunteer program for 11th and 12th grade students who want to learn more about the Holocaust. Teen volunteers are matched with Holocaust survivors who they will interview and record their oral histories. Also, the teens will work with research partners at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, Poland to try to determine what happened to each survivor’s family, community, and town after the war.
Students will meet once a week at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco to learn about the history of the Holocaust, conduct research, and complete the oral history essays. The program will run from November through May.
Students will receive community service credit for their participation.

Come to the Water/Jazz Genesis: Sharing the Rich Black Experience in SF
From: John William Templeton [mailto:johnwtempleton@yahoo.com]
Come to the Water: Sharing the Rich Black Experience in San Francisco (second edition) has updated listings of restaurants, historic sites, cultural facilities and personalities in the world's favorite tourist attraction.
Visit JazzGenesis: San Francisco and the Birth of Jazz is an exhibition in the Visitor Information Center of the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau which provides a new paradigm for considering the birth of the music. It looks at the nexus between the political and business initiatives of 19th century African-Americans in San Francisco and their patronage of the arts, the presence of Buffalo Soldiers at the Presidio and the impact of the intercontinental railroad. Spotlighted are eight still-extant buildings which housed jazz clubs as early as 1907, the first African-American to conduct at a presidential inauguration, the first African-American woman to sing at the White House, the first African-American to make a music recording, the origin of "animal" dances and the producers of the first jazz record by a black record company. It is an example of culturally-responsive content which makes an impact on the achievement gap. The Visitor Information Center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. It is located adjacent to the cable car turnaround at Powell Street and Market Streets and just outside the exit from Powell Street BART. A two-hour tour from the exhibition extending to Pacific Street can be booked by calling 415-240-3537 or e-mail to jwtempleton@californiablackhistory.com.
