The Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Teachers' Program was founded by Warsaw Ghetto heroine Vladka Meed in 1985. We have more than 1100 alumni who hail from every state in the union. Every summer we take teachers to Germany and Poland to study about the Holocaust with a special emphasis on spiritual resistance. The cost rises each year, but we have tried to maintain a low program fee for teachers, realizing that they are still among the lowest paid professionals in our society.
Most of our money comes from grants and donations, but as survivors, our most generous contributors, have passed away, the donations have dwindled. Yet the need for the program is greater than ever. The rise of nationalist groups spewing hatred has alarmed all of us, but there seem to be few concrete ways that we can counteract this despicable behavior. Our program is one way! Students who have a teacher well-versed in the history of antisemitism and how to combat it will not be swayed by the rhetoric of bias and violence.
Please help to support us so that our program can continue. We need your help now! Applications for our program are pouring in, but we cannot proceed without the money to pay for the travel and accomomodations our teachers will require.
If you care about the issues we address, if you are an alum of our program, if you are a survivor, a 2G or 3G, if you are a teacher, a historian, or if you just want to see a better world, please give.
