Grant money for Holocaust education

Educators are invited to apply for a grant from the Henry and Pepi Silverstein Memorial Endowment Fund of up to $500 for any program or project that will allow them to become more effective in teaching the history, literature and stories of the Nazi Holocaust.  

The intent of the endowment is to carry forward the mission of the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center:  To teach the history of the Holocaust in order to promote human dignity and justice, and serve as a memorial to its victims.

The grant money may be used for improving personal Holocaust education or for developing classroom projects/lessons/materials for teaching Holocaust education during the 2016-2017 school year.  Proposals should indicate approximately when during the school year the unit or project is to take place.  The full application and additional information may be found at sbhec.org.  

Applicatins must be completed and received by May 13.  Grant recipients will be notified by June 13 and will receive a check on June 22 at the annual meeting of the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center.

For questions about the process or eligibility, call Paula Olivieri at SBHEC, 401-453-7860 or email paula@bornsteinholocaustcenter.org.
