In 2022, Queensborough Community College’s Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) joined the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s (USHMM) Community of Holocaust Education Centers (CHEC), a dedicated network of organizations that participate in trainings, learn about new resources, and engage with peers across the country. During this workshop, participants learn why a foundation in Holocaust education is vital to making connections between the past and the present, and how to do so addressing the unique needs of community college students. The program includes a discussion with faculty across various disciplines who have developed related pedagogy, an exploration of USHMM’s online resources, an introduction to the unique local resources of the KHC, and a practical educator demo of these resources by a USHMM Museum Teacher Fellow.
