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.

  • Media and Public Engagement Advocacy
    methodology: media_engaged_advocacy
    By combining public demonstrations with media engagement, the organization generates national awareness and exerts pressure on authorities to act on Holocaust memorial issues, because high-visibility campaigns amplify advocacy impact and create political accountability.
  • Policy-Aligned Educational Integration
    methodology: policy_aligned_education
    By aligning Holocaust education programming with New York State Education Law mandates on human rights and genocide instruction, the organization ensures sustained integration into public education systems, because compliance-linked curricula are more likely to be adopted and maintained by schools.
  • Survivor-Centered Narrative Education
    methodology: survivor_testimony_based_education
    By using Holocaust survivor testimonies and personal narratives in educational outreach, the organization produces deeper public understanding of the Holocaust and combats contemporary racism, because lived experience fosters emotional engagement and moral reflection more effectively than abstract historical instruction.
