Bring Holocaust Education Into Classrooms

Why Support TOLI?

TOLI’s in-person seminars for teachers focus on best practices on how to teach the Holocaust and make its lessons relevant for today’s students. We provide these summer programs - and year-round mentoring and continuing education - at no cost to teachers. TOLI has a proven long-term impact on a teacher’s commitment to Holocaust education for their students.

Teachers in the US and Europe who have attended TOLI seminars are eligible to apply for impact grants to help underwrite books, speakers, visits to Holocaust museums and other memorial sites, and local projects for students and their communities.

Your gift will sponsor a teacher, fund an impact grant, and provide general support for programming.

Help us fight antisemitism through Holocaust education.
