Echoes and & Reflections Partnership
Echoes & Reflections is a leading provider of free Holocaust education resources and professional development for the middle and high school classroom. We help educators to teach about the Holocaust accurately and with confidence. Their goal is to enhance students' historical knowledge, critical thinking, and personal understanding of this history.
The Museum has an ongoing relationship with Echoes & Reflections to deliver its training programs in the North Texas-Oklahoma region, enhancing teachers’ skills and providing additional resources to teach about the Holocaust. In 2024, the Museum strengthened this partnership by training our education team as Echoes & Reflections facilitators. This allows the Museum to incorporate this premier Holocaust education professional development into existing or new trainings with North Texas and Oklahoma school districts and TEA regions.
