Christine Beresniova is the Executive Director of the South Carolina Council on the Holocaust.
Previously, Dr. Beresniova worked at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington
DC designing teacher training programs. In 2017, she published her first book, Holocaust Education
in Lithuania: Community, Conflict, and the Making of Civil Society, based on her PhD in Education
Policy from Indiana University. She is excited to be in South Carolina where so much meaningful
Holocaust education is already being done at all levels.
Dr. Beresniova’s current priorities with the Council are 1) to enhance the collection of testimonies
from South Carolina Holocaust survivors and liberators by making them more user-friendly for the classroom;
2) to expand program and resource offerings for educators; 3) and to bring the work of the Council to new
audiences. You will see Dr. Beresniova traveling around the state throughout the next year to meet with teachers,
administrators, and community leaders and to learn new ways the Council can better support Holocaust education.
