Our
Projects
Our student programs for grades 6–12 are rooted in uncovering historical truths and empowering young people to express knowledge, empathy, and respect through the creative process.
The Tolerance Quilt Project
This powerful interdisciplinary project deepens students' understanding of the historical ties between Jewish and African American struggles for civil and human rights.
Middle and high school students begin by reading Night or a similarly age-appropriate novel about the Holocaust, alongside excerpts from the writings of Frederick Douglass and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They also explore the work of Faith Ringgold and the rich tradition of African American story quilts.
Following a visit to a local Holocaust or Jewish history museum, students collaborate to design and create a large-scale Tolerance Quilt. Inspired by African American quilting traditions, the quilt tells stories of the Holocaust and takes a stand against antisemitism—blending art, literature, and history into a meaningful visual narrative.
Holocaust Memorial Butterfly Gardens
Bring science, gardening, history, and language arts together in this living memorial to the 1.5 million Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust—and to the Rescuers and Righteous Gentiles who courageously saved lives.
Students design, build, and maintain Holocaust memorial butterfly gardens, each one a unique expression of remembrance and hope. While every garden includes key unifying elements, students bring their own creativity and perspective to the design.
This powerful interdisciplinary project is especially well-suited for middle school and pairs seamlessly with our other programs.

Student-Created Holocaust Awareness Murals
Bring the values of kindness, tolerance, respect, and Holocaust awareness to your middle or high school through powerful murals designed and created by students. These collaborative art projects not only beautify school spaces but also inspire meaningful dialogue and reflection across the entire school community.
