The triennial Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference seeks to enhance Catholic-Jewish understanding by “educating the educators” in the hope of reaching the whole of humanity. The Conference will equip teachers and faculty members, especially those at Catholic institutions to enter into serious discussions on the causes of antisemitism and the Holocaust and to write and deliver papers that will shape appropriate curricular responses at Catholic institutions and other educational sites.
