In the summer of 2000, 100 high school students from Germany, Luxembourg, Washington, D.C., and from American communities where churches have been burned, attended the Museum's week-long Bringing the Lessons Home Summer Seminar for Students. Together they explored the Nation's Capitol, American Democracy, and the implications of the Holocaust for their lives today.
Bringing the Lessons Home:
Holocaust Education for the Community
Launched in 1994, the Museum has developed long-term partnerships with 20 high schools and middle schools that serve the Museum's local community - our nation's capital. Through these partnerships, more than 25,000 students, teachers and parents have received special programming and participated in discussions; more than 600 local educators have attended workshops; and more than 200 students have completed internships and serve as docents for their peers.
This program has been made possible by support from the following contributors:
- Fannie Mae Foundation (10-year leadership grant)
- Benjamin and Seema Pulier Charitable Foundation
- Elliot and Wendy Friedman
- Winnick Family Foundation, Inc.
- The Washington Post Company
