Our Director, Dr. Andrea Miskewicz, was proud to represent the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at the Southeastern Museums Conference’s 75th Annual Meeting in late September!

Andrea shared the story of our Legacy Learning Trip, which brought a cohort of educators to Tuskegee and Montgomery, Alabama, this July to explore history, memory, and place through the lens of the Civil Rights Movement and unsiloing history.

Our museum was just one of just six nationwide selected to participate in the Smithsonian’s Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past initiative. With support from this grant-funded program, we’ve been able to create new opportunities for educators to engage with history and bring those experiences back to their classrooms.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share what we’ve learned with museum colleagues from across the Southeast, and excited about where this work takes us next.

During Banned Books Week, we remember the N**i book burnings of 1933 and the broader campaign to control culture, ideas, and public discourse.
 
History reminds us that censorship can shape not only what people read, but whose voices are heard and whose ideas are preserved.

This World Teacher Day, we’re celebrating the educators who make learning possible every day.

At the Museum of History and Holocaust Education, we’re especially proud to support teachers as they continue to deepen their knowledge and bring thoughtful, meaningful Holocaust education into their classrooms through our Teacher Ambassador program.

Our Teacher Ambassadors are alumni of our Summer Institute program, a professional development experience that brings educators together to explore Holocaust history and education. As Teacher Ambassadors, they have the opportunity to continue that learning as a cohort through travel experiences with our Director, visiting sites across the US and Europe that deepen their understanding of Holocaust history and its teaching.

This November, 13 Teacher Ambassadors will travel to Germany, continuing their learning beyond the classroom and carrying those experiences back to the students and communities they serve.

We are grateful to the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta for helping make this experience possible by providing funding that allows our teachers to participate.

And to all of the teachers who keep learning, questioning, teaching, and helping students engage with history: thank you.

Today in History: September 15, 1935

A date that marked a turning point in N**i Germany’s persecution of Jewish people and the evolution of the Final Solution.

Today, we remember the people whose lives were forever changed by it.

Today, we are celebrating Ruby Bridges’ birthday.

Ruby became a figure in the Civil Rights Movement in November 1960, when she passed the discriminatory entrance exams and became the first Black student to attend William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ruby was just five years old at the time and had to be escorted to school by Federal Marshals for her own safety.

In 2021, our Museum curated the exhibit “Women’s Voices for Civil Rights” in partnership with KSU Museums, Archives, and Rare Books and the Breman Foundation. The exhibit includes Ruby’s story and can be viewed in person at our Museum Annex or online here: https://tr.ee/zrcY2f

Ruby’s story shows that people of every age can make a difference, and that even small hands can help build big changes.
