IN 2022, THE ZEKELMAN HOLOCAUST CENTER EDUCATED 45,000 PEOPLE ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST, AND THE NEED TO FIGHT DISCRIMINATION, HATE CRIMES, AND GENOCIDE. OF THESE, 18,000 WERE STUDENTS AND ADULTS WHO VISITED THE HC WITH THEIR SCHOOLS, COMPANIES OR COMMUNITY GROUPS AND WERE EDUCATED THROUGH GUIDED TOURS AND PRESENTATIONS BY HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS OR CHILDREN OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS. 3,000 STUDENTS WERE EDUCATED THROUGH VIRTUAL MUSEUM EXPERIENCES. 11,000 OTHERS TOURED THE HC WITH THEIR FAMILIES OR MADE USE OF OUR LIBRARY ARCHIVE. THESE VISITORS CAME FROM THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AS WELL AS MANY FROM OHIO, INDIANA, AND ONTARIO, AND SOME FROM ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE 50 STATES. THEY REFLECT THE DIVERSE RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS COMPOSITION OF THIS REGION.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.2MHolocaust Education Outreach Program
