About the Institute

“I am extremely happy with my decision to take this course. It has changed my direction for teaching kids not to bully. I have previously failed to use the Holocaust as a great teaching tool in that area.”

“I really liked this institute because I have learned so much through the personal experiences of the Survivors.”

“My mind is spinning. I am overwhelmed by all the resources and information I now have to use when I return to the classroom.”

“Everything I learned during this past week must now be put into practice.”

“The students who were contest winners made me cry. They got it. There is hope!”
