2025 SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
On June 21 we will welcome 25 middle and high school teachers and Holocaust center staff to the JFR’s 25th Summer Institute for Teachers (SIT). The program will be held at the Hilton Newark Airport and runs through Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Thirteen leading Holocaust scholars will present at the program. The text for the SIT is How Was it Possible? A Holocaust Reader by Professor Peter Hayes.
