This week Tayla is joined by Pauline Getzoyan and Giovanna Wiseman to talk about their work on the RI Holocaust and Genocide Education Commission. They share how the commission helps RI teachers include the holocaust and education about other genocides in their curricula. They also discuss reading as escapism, Barbenheimer, and Galaxy Quest. During The Last Chapter they discuss: If you could have the answer to one mystery, what would it be and why?
