Holocaust Education Partnership Program

HHREC offers this resource in partnership with the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh to support Girl Scout troops and other groups working to earn a Holocaust Education Patch in New York and neighboring states. 

The mission of the Holocaust Education Patch program is to address the injustices of the Holocaust and antisemitism, as well as to empower individuals to build a more humane and respectful society. The program is framed by the Girl Scout’s values of courage, inclusion, and truth, with the goal of educating participants about the Holocaust and the role of Girl Guides during World War II. By the end of the program, Girl Scouts will understand these core teachings and learn the importance of opposing discrimination, as well as gain the inspiration to channel these teachings into action.

Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts (and other participants grades nine through adult) are required to complete one “Connect” activity in addition to “Connect cards.” 

HHREC offers opportunities to fulfill this requirement by helping participants create an educational display and/or to coordinate the appearance of a speaker from our HHREC Speakers Bureau to present to a larger group.
