Since 2019, TOLI has organized yearly Holocaust and human rights education seminars for Lithuanian educators, in partnership with the International Commission for the Evaluation of the Crimes of the Nazi and Soviet Occupation Regimes in Lithuania and the Lithuanian Jewish Community.

TOLI’s Lithuania Seminar brings together 30 educators from across the country to learn the importance of the Holocaust and human rights. Through interdisciplinary methodology, teachers learn how to work with their students by using the lens of human rights to understand how atrocities like the Holocaust are possible.

Along with lectures and workshops by local and international experts, participants learned about the Holocaust in Lithuania through guided tours of Jewish Vilna, the Vilna Gaon Jewish State Museum, and the Paneriai Memorial Site.

Thank you to the Good Will Foundation for their generous support of our Lithuania Seminar.
