Welcome!

The Institute for Holocaust Education is proud to have served the community for close to a decade to bring Holocaust educational resources, workshops and community events to Nebraska and the sourrounding area. Hundreds of teachers have participated in our trainings over the years. We estimate close to 100,000 students in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas have benefitted from the materials passed on to their teachers. 

Community programming is a high priority as we present unusual and unique stories from the time of the Holocaust to a variety of audiences. The Institute also delves into issues that help us learn about and try to prevent other genocide in the world.
