Twenty-five years ago, Centropa set about preserving Jewish memory by interviewing elderly Jews in Central and Eastern European countries, digitizing their old family photographs, and making short films telling the most compelling stories. The Centropa Summer Academy builds on that mission by inviting teachers to learn those stories and teaching the world to remember with us.
From 2-10 July, join Centropa and 65 teachers from 16 countries as we walk the streets of Vienna and Prague, take an interactive tour of Terezin, learn from scholars, visit historic sites of the 20th century, and design cross-cultural projects to bring together students from the US, Europe, and Israel.

Rebuilding Life After the Holocaust
Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026
Time: 5:00pm-7:00pm EST
Partner: The Florida Holocaust Museum
There are many incredible stories of rescue and resistance during the Holocaust, yet the stories of how survivors rebuilt their lives is less told. After losing their homes and families, having their educations disrupted, and living in DP camps some moved to other countries—where they learned new languages and professions—and others returned to their home towns. These examples of resilience deserve to be learned—and learned from. Join Centropa and the Florida Holocaust Museum us as we explore the myriad ways Holocaust survivors kept going after losing everything.
