With most of the country confined to their homes, three organizations – The Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation (‘PHRF’), the Boise, Idaho-based Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, and the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center (‘HERC’) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin – have joined forces to create our Holocaust Education Week programming series. Launched in April […]

We were so grateful to welcome over 160 viewers during yesterday’s webinar, hosted by ADL Philadelphia, describing how to use our IWalk mobile app as a tool for Holocaust education both at the Memorial Plaza and at home. If you missed this event, you can always access the recording by filling out the form on this page.

I am eager to debut the rest of this week’s programming on Confronting Antisemitism and Racism, offered in partnership with the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise, ID, and the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center (HERC) in Milwaukee, WI. Throughout the week, we will be hosting 3 additional live events, along with a variety of new anti-bigotry podcasts, articles, videos, and more.

To offer a means of observing Yom HaShoah in these challenging circumstances, the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation has teamed up with the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise, ID, and the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center in Milwaukee, WI, to offer a week of programming between Sunday, April 19th and Friday, April 24th. This series will include three live events, as well as the debut of numerous new resources such as e-books, podcasts, and recorded content from each of our respective centers.

Much has changed since we were last in touch. With the onset of the international coronavirus pandemic, the day-to-day routine for many of us has changed dramatically, and much of what is in store remains unknown. But, one thing is for sure: we will need to make major adjustments to the ways in which we live, interact, and learn.

There’s no doubt that unprecedented times present a whole host of new challenges, but we see compelling opportunities for progress within those challenges. With many of us upending our schedules and spending more time at home, we have the gift of time to dive deeper into our learning independently, with our children, and, virtually, yet together.

To that end, the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation is curating a weekly series of educational content – all available through our newsletter, and soon, to be posted on our website. We will be sharing articles and books to read, clips and movies to watch, and actions to take to guide your learning about the Holocaust, contemporary antisemitism, and what it means to be an upstanding citizen in an increasingly uncertain world.
