Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Educational trunk program - served teachers from various schools in 2011-2012. Many students were impacted by the trunks program. The goal of the program is to provide a comprehensive curriculum for teachers to be used in the instruction of holocaust education in elementary, middle, and high school language arts and social studies classrooms. The concept of the program is to provide teachers a working kit of multimedia tools that, in most cases, would be cost prohibitive to teachers and school districts. Curriculum trunks are not only loaned to elementary, middle, and high schools, but also to several community colleges, as part of our outreach program.

Activity 3

Warren fellowship - created to benefit primarily future teachers, is supported by the warren fellowship fund. Its purpose is to develop a corps of educators who want to learn how to effectively teach about the holocaust and other genocides. The teachers attend a six day institute designed to immerse them in historical content and pedagogical issues related to the holocaust and other genocides. Eminent scholars provide historical and academic content while university faculty, as well as hmh museum staff, provide pedagogical context. During the week, fellows work with survivors of the holocaust. Following the program, fellows are invited to participate in numerous educational activities and outreach opportunities.
