Field Trips
At the Museum, students have the opportunity to learn the core lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides through firsthand testimony, artifacts, and docent-led discussions.Students’ tour participation allows them to make connections between the history of the Holocaust and their local and global communities today. Students are taught to “take a stand,” acting as upstanders in their everyday lives.
