Generations After

The Center for Holocaust Education is proud to host the East Valley Generations After group for children, grandchildren and descendants of Holocaust survivors, as well as those interested in learning more about the impact of the Holocaust. Programs feature guest speakers, including Holocaust survivors, authors and educators. 

How should today’s Jewish parents and grandparents respond to what’s happening on college campuses and other environments with regard to acts of anti-Semitism across the world?

Todd Larson, director of the What You Do Matters Institute, will give a presentation to provide tools for this dialogue. 

What You Do Matters: Lessons from the Holocaust is a highly interactive course developed in concert with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) specifically for law enforcement with focus on ethical and bias free leadership. 

How Germany changed in less than a decade from a free, democratic, and scientifically advanced community to a totalitarian regime that systematically targeted and murdered their own people is a lesson for every free society.  Course materials were developed to examine the “slippery slope” that occurred with law enforcement during nine short years.

The course offers an incredibly powerful curriculum on ensuring that the core values of policing, the courts, and criminal justice system are upheld.  All courses are facilitated by law enforcement professionals and utilize historical images, videos, artifacts, and displays selected by museum historians for engaging conversation for thought leadership.  The course is like no other course in criminal justice and is supported by several years of short-term and long-term survey results.
