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.
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.
