Get Involved

There are many impactful ways to contribute and join our mission to fund anti-hate initiatives, respect, and kindness to students nationwide through Holocaust education. Explore and find the opportunity that resonates with you.

MSHEF co-founders Mark Schonwetter, Ann S. Arnold, and Isabella S. Fiske celebrate the Journey For The Living Kickoff Event with participants.

Why Get Involved?

You’ll be taking an active role in shaping a better, brighter future. Holocaust education isn’t just about remembering the past—it’s about empowering the next generation to stand against prejudice, injustice, and hate in all its forms.

 

With only 29 states currently mandating Holocaust education, and a lack of funding available for materials, your involvement will directly support grants for educators nationwide.

80%
