Educational Offerings
Engaging Minds. Inspiring Meaning.
Our Offerings
At ASHER, we believe Holocaust education must do more than recount history—it must inspire reflection, connection, and a commitment to facing antisemitism and hatred today. Our educational offerings are designed to be immersive, accessible, and deeply human. They reach across generations and backgrounds to spark understanding.
We offer a range of meaningful programs tailored for schools, campuses, businesses, and community groups. Whether through firsthand survivor testimony, guest lectures, or guided discussions, every offering is grounded in ASHER’s belief that Holocaust education is essential—not just to preserve memory, but to shape informed and compassionate communities.

Offerings
Values & Stories
Discover what guides us, then and now
What values guide our choices? What gives us the strength to act with compassion or courage? Values and Stories helps participants explore these questions by uncovering their own core values, connecting them with values-driven stories from the Holocaust, and finding lessons that still resonate today.
Why it matters
The program shows how values shaped resilience and dignity during one of history’s darkest times – and how those same values can guide us through challenges in our own lives. It’s a reminder that even in difficult moments, we have the power to choose who we want to be.
Kristallnacht: The Night of Broken Glass
Understanding a turning point in history and what it means to us today
Kristallnacht: The Night of Broken Glass explores one of the defining moments in Jewish and world history, the November 1938 pogrom that marked the shift from discrimination to state-organized violence
against Jews in Nazi Germany and Austria.
Why it matters
Through survivor testimony, photographs, and historical context, participants see how this event became a warning of what was to come, and why it still matters more than eight decades later. It is a chance to reflect on the dangers of hatred, silence, and indifference.
Memory & Legacy
Why we remember and how it shapes our future
Memory & Legacy invites participants to explore how remembrance shapes identity, values, and collective responsibility. Through thoughtful discussion and creative activity, the program brings meaning to how we
remember, personally and as a community.
Why it matters
In a fast-moving world, this experience slows us down long enough to ask: What do we remember, and why does it matter? Together, participants explore how communities choose what to honor, what to pass forward, and how those choices become part of our moral compass.
Images & Identity
Exploring how pictures tell our stories
A picture can tell a thousand stories, and sometimes one image can change how we see ourselves. Images & Identity uses a curated card set, created with the Department for Israel and Holocaust Commemoration at the World Zionist Organization, to spark meaningful conversations about who we are and how we remember.
Why it matters
Photographs don’t just capture moments; they capture meaning. Looking at images from the past helps us to see the people, choices, and emotions behind them, and how those stories connect to our own lives today.
