Day of Learning

Established in 2003, the Day of Learning is an opportunity for students and educators to participate in interactive workshops about the Holocaust and genocide. This special educational forum honors Holocaust survivors, commemorates those who perished, and is dedicated to teaching the lessons of the Holocaust and genocide to future generations.
