Educators Workshop | Education During the Holocaust

An in-depth workshop for educators that invites participants to explore educational questions through the lens of the Holocaust – a period when education was not a given, but for many became a refuge, a mission, and even a form of resistance. The workshop presents the stories of educators who acted out of ideals, faith, and responsibility – including Janusz Korczak, members of youth movements, and Fredy Hirsch – and confronts participants with real educational dilemmas: Should we tell our students the truth? How do you maintain hope in the ghetto? Should you stay with your students in the camps? And what is the role of education when the world around you is collapsing?

Through stories, testimonials, simulations, and group dialogue, each specific story will become a contemporary educational discussion—about the essence of the role, the limits of responsibility, teaching values in times of crisis, and belief in the power of words, structure, and human connection to give meaning even when there is almost nothing left. From the stories of the past, a conversation will emerge about education today – our role as educators in times of personal, social, and national crisis, and what we take from the past to maintain faith and mission here and now.
