Students on a guided tour of the Holocaust Exhibit

Students actively explore the dynamics of prejudice and discrimination, historically and today. In the Holocaust Exhibit, students receive a card that reveals the story of a child whose life was changed by the Holocaust. Experiences in the Social Lab challenge students to examine the power of words and images, contemporary human and civil rights, and the importance of speaking up.
