DHHRM | 2026 Candy Brown Holocaust and Human Rights Educator Series: Holocaust Studies and Literature

The Candy Brown Holocaust and Human Rights Educator Series allows educators, librarians, and counselors to connect with the Museum over two sessions covering topics related to the Museum's educational mission and the history in the exhibition. Each session has a registration fee of $25 or $40 for both sessions. Scholarships are available for attendees from Title I schools.

Each session includes access to keynote speakers, a classroom resource kit, the Upstander Education Database, a guided tour of the exhibition, CPE credit, free parking in the Museum garage, a continental breakfast, and lunch!
