The Max M. Kaplan Summer Institute for Educators at Holocaust Museum Houston is a four-day program that moves beyond the general history of the Holocaust to explore the various dimensions and implications of the Holocaust, genocide and human rights.
The 2022 Max M. Kaplan Summer Institute will be held in-person. Due to health and safety protocols, all participants must present proof of vaccination for COVID-19 during the application process.
Presentations by scholars, workshops, and activities will introduce participants to the history of the Holocaust and genocide as well as a focus on human rights.
The program is directed toward educators on a secondary or higher level, but university students and educators of all levels who have a specific interest in, and background knowledge of genocide and the Holocaust are invited to apply. The cost to attend the program is $100, which includes books and materials.
