“Holocaust Education is a journey to empower students to
find their voice(s) in becoming a new generation of upstanders who will step-up
and speak-up!” Pam Bodnar
“The ultimate goal of Holocaust education should be that we teach the
children so that after they leave our classroom, they will want to return to
the lessons again, and again, and again as lifelong learners.” Karen Shawn
