Choices: Through the
eyes of students a student-run
exhibit
NMHRP
brings a 21-panel bilingual (English and Spanish) exhibit, Choices: Through the Eyes of Students, to New Mexico Schools. The exhibit addresses the choices students made
during the Holocaust and the choices students have to make today when
confronted with stereotyping, prejudice and racism. Promoting peer-based activities, presenters from the Contemporary
Holocaust Education Foundation in New York, in collaboration with NMHRP train
students to be docents, provoking discussion and debate and leading fellow
students and other visitors to reflect on choices made when confronted with
moral dilemmas. Full school involvement
is encouraged through the organization of various student-run committees to
include publicity, opening reception, documentation, music, art and writing.
NMHRP staff visits the schools and teaches the basics of hosting the exhibit. For
more information on the Choices exhibit
visit www.c-hef.org.
Please contact NMHRP at info@nmhrp.org if your school is interested in hosting the exhibit.
