Inspire Action Through Education

We believe that teaching the lessons of the Holocaust is critical – now more than ever.

We frame our approach to Holocaust education around nine pedagogical principles – including providing background on antisemitism, teaching the human story, making the Holocaust relevant, fostering empathy and ensuring a supportive learning environment.

Through a thoughtful and sound study of the Holocaust, students gain an understanding of the dangers and consequences of unchecked hate. They can grow into responsible citizens by recognizing and preventing acts of injustice.
