Holocaust Museum Houston

Programs: The holocaust museum's mission is to establish and maintain a memorial to the millions of individuals who perished during world war ii at the hands of the nazis, and to continue to educate and enlighten people by promoting and presenting programs on remembrance, understanding, and prevention. The museum had 162,196 onsite visitors this year.

warren fellowship - created to benefit primarily future teachers, is supported by the warren fellowship fund. Its purpose is to develop a corps of educators who want to learn how to effectively teach about the holocaust and other genocides. The teachers attend a six day institute designed to immerse them in historical content and pedagogical issues related to the holocaust and other genocides. Eminent scholars provide historical and academic content while university faculty, as well as hmh museum staff, provide pedagogical context. During the week, fellows work with survivors of the holocaust. Following the program, fellows are invited to participate in numerous educational activities and outreach opportunities.

educational outreach - served teachers and students from various schools in 2016-2017. Many students were impacted by the outreach programs (e. G. , digital curriculum trunks, all behaviors count curriculum, educator in motion, teacher workshops) in support of the instruction of holocaust education in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. The concepts of the programs are to provide teachers tools (including multimedia tools) that are unique to holocaust education and, in most cases, could be cost prohibitive to teachers and school districts.

summer institute - this program is designed to educate educators and would-be educators, as well as students from all around the world, about the holocaust. It also provides studies on other genocides and ways in which society can choose not to be a bystander but, be an upstrander to ensure that genocide ceases and is never repeated.
