THESE VISITORS CAME FROM THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AS WELL AS MANY FROM OHIO, INDIANA, AND ONTARIO, AND FROM ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE 50 STATES. THEY REFLECTED THE DIVERSE RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS COMPOSITION OF OUR REGION. 1187219 WE OPERATED OUR STATEWIDE EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO THE STATE MANDATE THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS PROVIDE SIX HOURS OF HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE EDUCATION TO STUDENTS IN GRADES 8-12.

THIS YEAR, 425 INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS REPRESENTING 62 MICHIGAN COUNTIES RECEIVED TRAINING. IN 2024, THESE EDUCATORS REACHED OVER 400,000 STUDENTS. OUR OUTREACH EMPOWERS TEACHERS TO USE THE LESSONS OF THE HOLOCAUST TO HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF UNCHECKED HATRED AND ANTISEMITISM, AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR INDIVIDUAL CHOICES MATTER IN COMBATTING THEM. 712331 WE PRESENTED A WIDE ARRAY OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS ON EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS FEATURING MOVIES, LECTURES, AUTHOR PRESENTATIONS, AND TALKS BY HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS. TOPICS COVERED IN 2024 INCLUDED A MUSICAL PROGRAM MEMORIALIZING A HOLOCAUST VICTIM, THE STORY OF A WWII-ERA JEWISH CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER TEAM, A PROGRAM ABOUT ANTISEMITISM YESTERDAY AND TODAY, THE HISTORY OF THE NAZI PERSECUTION OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE, A PRESENTATION ABOUT A COOKBOOK BY AUSCHWITZ SURVIVORS, AND A VIRTUAL GUIDED TOUR OF THE AUSCHWITZ MEMORIAL IN POLAND.
