The Center for Jewish Education

The Center for Jewish Education (CJE) maintains a collection of more than 500 books, curricula, and videos relating to pre-warEurope and the Holocaust. These materials are available to the community, including victims of Nazi persecution who wish to enhance their presentations to groups. These presentations ensure that our community’s youth learn about and “never forget” the facts, stories, people and lessons of pre-war Europe and the Holocaust.

Throughout the year, CJE also provides information, resources, referral and professional development support to schools, Jewish community institutions, agencies and individuals regarding Holocaust education and for Yom HaShoah U’gevurah ceremonies.

If you would like more information or would like to participate in “Becoming the Voices” intergenerational Holocaust education programs where local students learn to retell aspects of a survivors story please contact The Center for Jewish Education at 410-735-5007.

The Jewish Museum of Maryland

The Jewish Museum of Maryland (JMM) offers on- and off-site educational programs relating to Holocaust history for public and private schools throughout the State. A sample resource, Lives Lost, Lives Found History Kit explores the experience of the thousands of German-Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s and established new lives in Baltimore. The JMM also partners with the BJC to provide survivors to speak to visiting school groups as part of a field trip. Additionally, the Museum works with the BJC and the CJE to facilitate teacher training workshops.
