The fall school program, recommended for grades six to twelve, promotes historical thinking around themes of rescue, social responsibility and identity during the Holocaust.

Presented on the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Hungary, the VHEC’s new teaching exhibit illustrates a little-known story of diplomatic rescue and moral courage during the Holocaust. The travelling exhibit, on loan from the Carl Lutz Foundation in Budapest, is enlivened by a VHEC-produced companion exhibit, which contextualizes Lutz’s rescue efforts through the testimony and artefacts of local Hungarian Holocaust survivors.

In addition to participating in an interactive exhibit tour, students will participate in a complementary workshop OR listen to a VHEC Survivor Outreach Speaker.

A Teachers Guide to support pre- and post-visit learning will be available October 6 at www.vhec.org.
