For more than 40 years, the Holocaust Awareness Museum has been dedicated to educating those in the Philadelphia area about the horrors of the Holocaust and how its lessons can be applied to today's world. We primarily schedule programs, both at our museum and in schools throughout the metro Philadelphia region, where participants hear stories of the Holocaust firsthand from survivors. During the 2008-2009 academic school year, our organization reached more than 4,300 students in over 40 different schools.
