During the first six months of 2011, Museum Without Walls partnered with three Seattle-area churches (Bethany Presbyterian, Emerald City Bible Fellowship, and Japanese Presbyterian) to provide middle and high school youth group students with three training days on the history of Seattle, issues of racism, and the civil rights movement. The Saturday events were in preparation for a joint youth group mission trip serving Seattle ministries.

2012 Holocaust Education Program

No matter where you live in the world, we want you to join us for a look into Bavarian history and culture through the eyes of those who lived it. Our summer 2012 Holocaust program will take students and educators on a 10- day exploration of the birth of the National Socialist party, the propaganda that allowed it to grow and a resistance movement that was vital to saving so many Jewish lives. Participants will also attend study workshops with experts in Munich, Vienna and Nuremberg.

*Living History” is a hallmark of the Museum Without Walls experience; students will have the rare opportunity to meet these survivors, resistance workers and historians in an intimate setting

"Museum Without Walls has taken participants around the world to study the Holocaust for ten years. For the last two years, we've been fortunate to have had volunteers create program blogs for us.
