Teaching about the Holocaust provides the opportunity to examine the basic moral issue of what it means to be a responsible citizen in a democratic society. Studying the Holocaust brings understanding to the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping, and the value of encouraging tolerance and diversity in society.

The Spector/Warren Fellowship for Future Educators Conference will examine “The Past as Present: Lessons from the Holocaust in Contemporary Times.”

The Spector/Warren Fellowship is for undergraduate and graduate students preparing for careers in education, counseling, or student affairs.
