Claims Conference Launches International Holocaust Survivor Speakers Bureau

Elevating Holocaust Education In Schools, Survivors Take Their Testimony Directly To The Classroom, Sharing Their Critical Testimony With Children And Young Adults

Boca Raton, FL – The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) launched the Survivor Speakers Bureau (SSB), a vast program of over 250 Holocaust survivors willing and able to tell their critical stories to students around the world.

Gideon Taylor, President of the Claims Conference, said, “At a moment of dramatically rising antisemitism, this program tells the history and educates for the future. A Holocaust survivor speakers bureau of this scale and reach is unprecedented. Holocaust stories remain as important as ever, for both ends of the generational spectrum. Survivors continue to feel the enormous need to share their harrowing stories, and, encouragingly, schools continue to want to fill their rooms with living, eyewitness testimony.”
