Field Trips

 

 

School Buses at IHMEC Museum EntranceAt 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.
