The former concentration camp prisoners and eyewitnesses of the Shoah, have devoted all their lives to the mission of keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive. Today, as their mission is coming to an end, they understand better than anyone else that this whole work and toil might be in vain if we do not succeed in bequeathing the material evidence of this terrible crime to future generations.

Meet Jeff Walters, our 2026 Auschwitz Legacy Fellow of the Week.
When asked why he applied for the Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship, Jeff said, “Fortunately, most of my students are intellectuals who are very into history, especially with the world wars and the topics that blend in psychology to challenge them to think about humanity and think critically. The first reason is to find new ways to reach apathetic, overwhelmed, and overstimulated students who tune out. We also have a community that has seen a rise in anti-Semitic literature being circulated to homes and vandalism in recent years. I want to approach the Holocaust at a whole school level, partnering with our school organizations such as our Jewish Student Union and Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society.”
Jeff learned of the Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship through ABMF’s outreach and social media.

Our Auschwitz Legacy Fellows are strengthening Holocaust education for future generations across the United States. You can help make it possible.
Through the Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation fully funds a year-long experience for high school educators—providing rigorous training, classroom resources, and an immersive study trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Fellows return not only with knowledge, but with the responsibility and confidence to teach it forward, reaching hundreds of students each year.
Since launching in 2022, the Fellowship has expanded to 22 states as we work toward our goal of reaching all 50 states by 2030. By working alongside partners like , we are strengthening Holocaust education across Ohio and building a growing national network of educators committed to confronting antisemitism, misinformation, and Holocaust distortion.
It costs $5,000 to support one teacher.
That one teacher will reach hundreds of students.
The future of Holocaust remembrance depends on education and on all of us working together to support it.
At a time when 48% of Americans cannot name a single concentration camp or ghetto, and Holocaust denial continues to rise online, meaningful Holocaust education has never been more important.
