• Copyright process for each of our over 2,200 oral histories.

• Mini-recording studio which will provide the Center the convenient opportunity to be more flexible and efficient with the scheduling of Survivor interviews.

• Extremely popular Student Awareness Day prejudice reduction programs offered to Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties' students and educators.

The available speakers include Survivors, Liberators, Rescuers, educators, and members of the Center’s Board of Directors. Over the years, this free service has brought the lessons of the Holocaust to hundreds of thousands of South Floridians.

The overall winner is awarded a visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and attends the Days of Remembrance ceremony held in the Rotunda of the Capitol Building.
