A journey of remembrance, promoting tolerance by teaching today's youth about the Holocaust and the horrors of hate.
The Lebanon Holocaust Education Fund's primary purpose is to sponsor guided tours to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. for secondary school students from the greater Lebanon area.
The Fund's programs are intended to help safeguard the memory of the Holocaust that claimed six million Jewish lives in Europe during World War II, as well as many non-Jewish lives. It is also intended to be a living reminder that members of our community, both individually and together, must act vigilantly -- now and forever -- to protect the human rights of all peoples.
The Lebanon Holocaust Education Fund was established in 1997 to continue the work of a program begun in Harrisburg in 1994 in memory of Sidney Slotznick by his widow, Diana J. Slotznick. To date, the Fund has sponsored and contributed to trips for hundreds of students.
The students have written many moving essays recording their impressions of the trips.
Online resources concerning the Holocaust include the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (www.ushmm.org), the Nizkor project (www.niskor.org), the Mazal Library (www.mazal.org), and the Holocaust History Project (www.holocaust-history.org). Another online resource is the Jewish Virtual Library (www.us-israel.org).
The Lebanon Holocaust Education Fund is an on going program of Congregation Beth Israel.
Programs sponsored by the Fund are specifically intended to include as participants persons of all religions, races and ethnicities.
Contributions to the Fund are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
