Signature Programs
Support several programs and events to help distribute knowledge and lessons learned from past events.
Law Enforcement and Society
St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) have partnered for the last 10 years in education in a training for police officers that includes a guided tour of the Museum, and overview of how “law enforcement” reacted to Nazi control and finally a session facilitated by ADL staff, making the lessons relevant to their roles in contemporary society. To date more than 2500 officers have participated in the program.
Rubin* and Gloria Feldman Family Education Institute
The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum conducts a multi-day educator workshop annually usually in collaboration with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. The institute is comprised of lectures and presentations designed to train educators of effective techniques for integrating Holocaust curriculum in the classroom. We have trained approximately 700 teachers since this program began in 2005.
Student Art & Writing Contest
The Museum stages an annual Student Art & Writing Contest in which students submit prose, poetry and works of art that reflect their experience while on tour or what they’ve learned in the classroom. Museum judges cull through more than 700 entries annually.
Rosenberg Monthly Film Series
The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum presents a free film (screened in video or DVD format) on the last Sunday of each month. Approximately 1000 people attend annually.
