Summer Institute for Teaching the Holocaust

Join the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum and the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University as we present an annual three-day educator conference during June.

We are committed to providing educators with first-rate Holocaust teaching resources across grade levels, subject areas, and curricula, while addressing teachers’ needs to fulfill various standards.

Teachers receive a certificate for 20 hours of professional development upon completion.

Tuition for the Summer Institute for Teaching the Holocaust is $50 thanks to generous subsidies by our supporters.

Overnight accomodations, parking, meals and materials will be covered for the duration of the Institute (for accepted participants) with a $50 non-refundable registration fee.

Contact Director of the Weinberg Center for Holocaust Education, Rabbi Joseph Prass (jprass@thebreman.org) with questions about the Institute.
