Share Our Stories at Holocaust Museum LA connects students from under-resourced schools with Holocaust Survivors for meaningful dialogue, artifact-based learning, Museum gallery exploration, and reflective art workshops. Students are encouraged to find personal expression through artistic mediums while amplifying their voices through art. They find common ground with Holocaust survivors and see their own strength in the survivors’ experiences. In addition to providing free Holocaust education and arts programming to underserved communities, we aim to bring individual stories and experiences of every student into the wider context of history and community. *Share our Stories is offered both hybrid and virtually for the 2023/2024 school year. The program is provided at no cost to participating classrooms and includes: • A virtual or in-person docent-led, customized tour of the Museum. • A virtual or in-person survivor speaking engagement in which a Holocaust survivor shares their experiences before, during, and after the Holocaust. • Virtual or in-person art reflection workshop for students. (Materials will be supplied by museum) The program will be conducted over a series of virtual or in-person sessions that take place over a period of 2-5 weeks, depending on the academic calendar for the partnering school and the Museum schedule. Share Our Stories Project is free to participating classes through a generous grant from the Max H. Gluck Foundation.
