ABOUT US
We deliver impactful lessons learned from the Holocaust through our national learning management system and local innovative experiences in Palm Beach County, Florida. At the Holocaust Learning Experience, we transform painful lessons of history into hope for future generations. Together, we can build a future that upholds the dignity of every human life.
Teaching the Holocaust lessons fosters a deep sense of empathy and fulfills the moral imperative Never to Forget. We express our gratitude to MorseLife Health System and NEXT GENERATIONS of Holocaust Survivors for joining each other and igniting a new era of understanding and healing to shape a brighter future. Their merger enables us to deliver meaningful lessons learned from the Holocaust.
Thank you for standing against hate, bigotry, and prejudice.
