UPCOMING EVENTS

Art and the Holocaust

Digital Display Coming Soon

If you weren’t able to visit the exhibition in person, we invite you to experience Art and the Holocaust online. Originally displayed at the Jewish Community Center, this collection features artwork created by middle school students, including charcoal portraits, murals, and collages that explore the history of the Holocaust.

The pieces showcased online represent selected works chosen by teachers as standout submissions and finalists for exhibition, highlighting the creativity, thoughtfulness, and dedication of student artists. Drawing inspiration from survivors, victims, and literature, these works demonstrate how art can preserve memory and foster deeper understanding.

We encourage you to explore the exhibit online, reflect on these powerful works, and we look forward to seeing what students will create and share in the next school year.

Lunch and Learn Series

May 21 | 11:30 AM | ZOOM

Join the Institute for Holocaust Education for our upcoming session in our Lunch and Learn Series. Our featured speaker, Kelly Tichauer-Kirk will lead a thought provoking discussion on the complexities of intergenerational trauma. Drawing from her graduate research in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, as well as her own personal family history as the granddaughter of four Holocaust survivors, Kelly offers a deeply informed and meaningful perspective.

Participants will gain meaningful insight into how trauma reverberates through families, communities, and time, and how resilience and remembrance continue to shape the healing process.

We invite you to join us for this meaningful conversation; come connect, reflect, and carry these stories forward.
