Holocaust Documentation and Education Center

The Holocaust Documentation and Education Center (HDEC) will launch a wide-ranging Holocaust education outreach program for educators and students in South Florida. The project will utilize the new HDEC Interactive Learning Center resources, which include interactive holographic interviews based on the oral history collection and interactive smart table displays, as well as presentations in the new Multi-Purpose Orientation Theater, additional exhibitions, and expanded searchable database of digital collections. The project goal is to increase student knowledge and understanding of the universal lessons of the Holocaust. HDEC will hire a full-time exhibit coordinator and an educational outreach coordinator to organize activities, build capacity overall to reach K-12 educators, and focus on development of new programming for K-8 audiences. This project will provide students and teachers of Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties with age-appropriate programming sharing stories of resilience and hope.
