"Clara H. Isaacman Memorial Trunk Project" The PHEC has developed two (2) trunks of Holocaust materials: one is appropriate for middle school and the other for high school. Each contains maps, reference materials, a classroom set of books, DVDs, nonfiction (memoirs and diaries) and fiction books. The trunk will become the property of the school and should be located in a centralized area such as the library or media center. Each piece will be catalogued by the library for its main collection with the site specified as the trunk, and the librarian will create a special list of trunk contents so materials can be checked in and out properly. One teacher or administrator should be named who will serve as the liaison between the school and the PHEC and oversee maintenance and usage of the trunk.
