The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous launched the Goldsmith Student Scholars of the Holocaust, a pilot initiative for students in Palm Beach County. This unique opportunity immersed students in the study of the Holocaust using the JFR’s new, comprehensive curriculum: How Was It Possible? A Holocaust Curriculum For and By Teachers™.

Through this program, students became Goldsmith Student Scholars of the Holocaust, engaging deeply with themes of resistance, rescue, and responsibility. Named in memory of the family of Mark Goldsmith, whose relatives experienced the full spectrum of Holocaust-era tragedy and heroism, the program challenges students to reflect on history—and the choices that define our humanity.
