ACHEF’s Educational Initiatives
At ACHEF, we teach the Holocaust through survivors’ and witnesses’ voices, humanizing their experiences. Our multifaceted approach to Holocaust education, guided by the ‘safely in and safely out’ method, ensures students engage with this history while receiving support and are able to debrief. We also emphasize the history of antisemitism, past and present, recognizing its importance in combating contemporary antisemitism. Through our initiatives, we inspire dialogue, promote tolerance, and actively combat antisemitism and discrimination, fostering a world that values democracy, human rights, and social justice.
Why is it important to learn about the Holocaust?
Understanding the Holocaust is pivotal, as it confronts the aftermath of hatred and Antisemitism, upholds democratic values, emphasizes human rights, and advocates for equality and justice. This exploration involves fostering critical thinking, and raising questions not only about the Holocaust but also about contemporary issues. Learning about the Holocaust is essential for comprehending the impact of propaganda, uncovering the roots of discrimination, antisemitism, and racism. Holocaust education not only illuminates the past but also plays a crucial role in building a more just, compassionate society. It ensures that, as a community, we collectively take responsibility for shaping a better future.
