How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Artifact-Based Moral Education
    methodology: artifact-based education
    By engaging students with original artifacts and stories of Holocaust rescue activists, we produce moral and historical understanding, because tangible connections to individual courage and resistance make abstract lessons of ethics and genocide more visceral and memorable.
  • Arts-Based Holocaust Learning
    methodology: arts-based learning
    By involving students in visual arts and literacy projects about the Holocaust, we produce deeper emotional and cognitive engagement, because creative expression enables processing of complex historical trauma in ways that lecture or text alone cannot.
  • Faith-Centered Holocaust Education
    methodology: faith-centered_holocaust_education
    By centering the experiences of observant Jewish communities and integrating faith and identity into Holocaust education, we produce deeper historical understanding and engagement, because spiritual and cultural continuity is essential to fully grasping the meaning and impact of the Holocaust.
