OF THESE, 30,000 WERE STUDENTS AND ADULTS WHO VISITED THE HC WITH THEIR SCHOOLS, COMPANIES OR COMMUNITY GROUPS AND WERE EDUCATED THROUGH GUIDED TOURS AND PRESENTATIONS BY HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS OR CHILDREN OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS. 8,000 OTHERS TOURED THE HC WITH THEIR FAMILIES OR MADE USE OF OUR LIBRARY ARCHIVE. 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. 1066854 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. SINCE 2018, 7,000 TEACHERS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OUR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION TRAINING SEMINARS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS. THIS YEAR, 600 TEACHERS REPRESENTING 40 MICHIGAN COUNTIES RECEIVED TRAINING. IN TOTAL, THESE EDUCATORS REACHED 655,000 STUDENTS DURING THE 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR. OUR OUTREACH EMPOWERS TEACHERS TO USE THE LESSONS OF THE HOLOCAUST TO HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF UNCHECKED HATRED, AND TO LEARN THAT THEIR INDIVIDUAL CHOICES MATTER. 640583 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 OUR 2023 PROGRAMS INCLUDED WOMEN IN THE HOLOCAUST, THE STORY OF A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR WHO BECAME A WALL STREET LEGEND, HOLOCAUST MEMORIALS IN EUROPE, GERMANY'S RESPONSE TO CONTEMPORARY GENOCIDES, A MUSICAL PROGRAM MEMORIALIZING A VICTIM OF THE HOLOCAUST, AND A COOKING DEMOSTRATION OF RECIPES FROM A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR. SOME PROGRAMS WERE HELD VIRTUALLY, REACHING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AND OTHERS WERE IN-PERSON OR HYBRID, REACHING ANOTHER 3,000 PEOPLE IN- PERSON. IN 2023, WE PRESENTED TWO SPECIAL EXHIBITS. "TO PAINT IS TO LIVE: THE ARTWORK OF ERICH LICHTBLAU-LESKLY," EXPLORED THE LIFE AND WORK OF CZECH JEWISH ARTIST ERICH LICHTBLAU-LESKLY, WHO USED ART AND SATIRE AS TOOLS OF ADAPTATION AND RESISTANCE WHILE IMPRISONED IN THE THERESIENSTADT GHETTO- CONCENTRATION CAMP. THE SECOND EXHIBIT, ALSO DISPLAYED IN OUR SPECIAL EXHIBIT GALLERY, WAS A SUMMARY OF OUR NEW CORE PERMANENT EXHIBIT. DURING SUMMER AND FALL 2023, OUR CORE PERMANENT EXHIBIT UNDERWENT A COMPLETE RENOVATION. DURING THIS PERIOD, VISITORS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR A SPECIAL EXHIBIT WE CURATED THAT TOLD THE STORY OF THE HOLOCAUST AND ITS LESSONS IN A CONDENSED SETTING. IN RESPONSE TO THE TOXIC UPTICK IN ANTISEMITIC ACTIVITY ON U.S. COLLEGE CAMPUSES FOLLOWING THE OCTOBER 7, 2023 ATTACK BY HAMAS ON ISRAEL, WE LAUNCHED OUR STATEWIDE COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY INITIATIVE IN FALL 2023. ITS GOAL IS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS AND FACULTY ON CAMPUSES ACROSS THE STATE ABOUT THE LESSONS OF THE HOLOCAUST, FOSTERING A SAFE AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. HOLOCAUST EDUCATION IS A PROVENT BULWARK AGAINST ANTISEMITISM, AS IT SIGNIFICANTLY TRACKS WITH REDUCED BELIEF IN ANTISEMITIC TROPES. 4268590 true true false true false false false true false true true
