Are you ready to join a community of educators committed to ensuring the lessons of the Holocaust inspire a new generation of upstanders? Join the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center’s prestigious cohort of teacher leaders and apply to the Roma & Sam Kaltman Teacher Fellowship today.
This immersive learning opportunity starts with a two-day in-person experience in November, followed by asynchronous learning sessions on topics relevant to you and your classroom. The fellowship concludes with an in-person experience in January. As you learn and grow as part of a cohort of dedicated educators, you’ll leave with the foundational knowledge and best practices to teach the Holocaust to today’s students. Beyond opportunities to hear from Holocaust survivors, learn from Holocaust experts, and hone lesson plans, fellows will cultivate long-lasting professional relationships with special experiences including a Shabbat dinner at historic Union Terminal.

This year’s guest speaker is Eric Ward. Eric K. Ward, a nationally-recognized expert on the relationship between authoritarian movements, hate violence, and preserving inclusive democracy, is the recipient of the 2021 Civil Courage Prize – the first time in the award’s history that an American has won the prize, revealing the dangerous proliferation of hate crimes and political violence by authoritarian and extremist movements in the United States. Eric brings over three decades of leadership in community organizing and philanthropy to his roles as Western States Center’s Executive Director and Senior Fellow with Southern Poverty Law Center and Race Forward. Since Eric took the helm in 2017, Western States Center has become a national hub for innovative responses to white nationalism, antisemitism, and structural inequality, towards a world where everyone can live, love, work, and worship free from bigotry and fear. In his 30+ year civil rights career, Eric has worked with community groups, government and business leaders, human rights advocates, and philanthropy as an organizer, director, program officer, consultant, and board member.
