The Museum of Jewish Heritage visits are part of a $2.5 million private-public partnership that will start this fall and run for the next three years. It's expected to reach at least 85,000 students in district and charter schools.
(New York Jewish Week) – New York City will send tens of thousands of students to Manhattan’s Holocaust museum as the city and its school system grapple with a surge
A Holocaust museum in New York City will offer free educational field trips to eighth grade public school students in a program aimed at combating antisemitism. The Museum of Jewish Heritage already offers student discounts and free admission days. The new program announced Thursday will cover transportation, guides and take-home materials for the students. City Council member Julie Menin said she raised the idea with the museum after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. Incidents targeting Jewish and Muslim Americans have been recorded across the country since the Israel-Hamas war erupted, ranging from offensive graffiti to violence.
