We provide speakers and resources to educators and schools within 1 hour of Research Triangle Park. We not only make history come alive by bringing Holocaust refugees and survivors to students, but also make the teaching of the Holocaust relevant to our students. Recent refugees from countries around the world (Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Darfur and Burma) are also part of our speakers group. We provide tools to students so they will become activists and stand up against intolerance, bigotry and hate.
