The Education Department sponsors seminars and conferences to empower educators with the resources needed to teach about the Holocaust. Our aim is to provide educators with a better understanding of how to transmit the lessons of this event to present and future generations. The Education Department sponsors an annual Professional Development Conference to bring educators up-to-date with resources developed by the International School for Holocaust Studies in Jerusalem. This Conference is co-sponsored by the Association for Teachers of Social Studies of the United Federation of Teachers. We also offer assistance in coordinating commemorative programs on the Holocaust.
