DHHRM | History in Focus

Upstander Institute: History in Focus is a weeklong, hybrid summer camp for students entering 7th-8th grades. Students will be introduced to the study of history through the lens of artifacts, primary sources, and testimonies. Throughout the week, students will explore the Holocaust, human, and civil rights in order to better understand how and why history is studied and interpreted. Students will then conduct research on a historical topic of their choice, culminating in the creation of a small exhibit panel about their chosen topic.
