Raab/Goodwin: Resources for Students

 

Our mission is to teach people about the past and to educate them for the future through the painful lessons of the Holocaust. Our objective is to reduce prejudice and lessen hatred, bigotry, bullying, and violence against all groups.

At the Esther Raab Holocaust Museum & Education Center (Raab/Goodwin), we are dedicated to teaching about the Holocaust, preserving the experiences of those who survived and honoring the memory of those who perished. According to statistics from the FBI, NJ is home to the 2nd highest number of hate crimes in the country. Teaching the lessons of the Holocaust is an important and effective means to reduce prejudice and affect attitudes to lessen hatred, bigotry, and violence against all groups. We hope that our programs will become an essential part of your "Character Education and Anti-Bullying Curriculums."

Fourth and fifth-grade students are just beginning to grapple with these tough questions. The new Raab/Goodwin Junior Upstander Award is a chance for these students to tell their story of being an Upstander.
