This week, ASHER proudly advanced its mission of Holocaust education by leading an interactive educational workshop at the annual Department of Education Conference of the World Zionist Organization in Chicago. Despite the snowy winter welcome, the spirit inside the conference was one of warmth, purpose, and shared responsibility.
More than 150 educators from private and public schools across North America gathered with a unified commitment to strengthening Holocaust education in their classrooms and communities.
Collaborative Learning With Educators Across North America
Representing ASHER, Senior Emissary Adi Farkash introduced ASHER’s newest Holocaust education materials through hands-on learning, small-group discussion, and collaborative teaching strategies. The workshop created space for meaningful dialogue on how educators can convey the enduring lessons of the Holocaust in ways that are historically grounded and relevant to our world today.
The enthusiasm, insight, and dedication of the teachers in attendance reaffirmed the essential role that educators play in preserving memory and transforming it into meaningful action.

Strengthening the Future of Holocaust Education Together
ASHER is deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such dedicated educators and to contribute to the continued evolution of meaningful, responsible Holocaust education. Partnerships like these ensure that memory is preserved not only through knowledge—but through values, connection, and action.
We look forward to expanding this work with educators and communities across North America.
