High-school trips to Poland to visit Nazi concentration and labor camps are a well-established tradition in Israel. In recent years, the ultra-Orthodox sector has also begun expressing interest in the subject, which created the need for more Haredi teachers and guides.
The Testimony House Holocaust museum in Nir Galim, in south-central Israel, took it upon itself to fill the need, in partnership with the Michlalah Jerusalem College and Israel Experience offering a course that caters to Haredim.
"The new project will increase the number of visitors to important sites and help keep the memory of the Holocaust alive for generations to come," Testimony House CEO Rachel Rosenman said.
"With fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors among us, the importance of Holocaust education becomes even more crucial. Our ultimate goal is to integrate a wide range of sectors into keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive," Rosenman said.
