The Maryland Holocaust Educators Network (MD-HEN) gathers middle school through university-level teachers from across the region to study the Holocaust and genocide in a context of social justice. We will witness, study, and collaborate together to invigorate our teaching.

TOLI is home to the national Holocaust Educators Network.
