A Holocaust museum in New York City will offer free educational field trips to eighth grade public school students in a program aimed at combating antisemitism
FILE - Portraits of Holocaust survivors are displayed at the Museum of Jewish Heritage as a vintage German train car, like those used to transport people to Auschwitz and other death camps, is uncovered on tracks outside the museum, in New York, Sunday, March 31, 2019. A privately funded effort in New York City will offer a Holocaust education field trips to all eighth graders in public schools.
“We needed a proactive approach to combat this hatred at its roots," Menin, a Democrat and daughter of a Holocaust survivor, said in a statement. “That’s why I approached the Museum of Jewish Heritage with the vision of a universal field trip program.” The museum already offers student discounts and free admission days. The new program will cover transportation, guides and take-home materials for the eighth graders, Menin said.
Principals will play a key role in deciding which schools will participate in the program, Menin said in a phone call. Schools can sign up through the museum website.
