Thank you so much for supporting my students education. We get such limited time to teach all the materials and the Educator in Motion program does SUCH an amazing job and really keeps the kids engaged. Most importantly, it helps the kids become more empathetic and tolerant towards people who are different which is the most important thing I want them to learn from my class.”

VISITORS
“I remember visiting Holocaust Museum Houston in grade school for a field trip. I have a vivid memory of gathering in the railcar and even at such young age, was overcome with a deep sense of empathy. Still, 17 years after my first visit, Holocaust Museum Houston remains a staple in our city that serves as a strong reminder of the impact and relevance of the Holocaust, especially as it pertains to our city.”
