15 Years of Human Rights Education
15 years ago, the Academy for Human Rights started as The Summer Institute for Human Rights and Genocide Studies.
The thought was that we would bring together a few area Holocaust survivors, invite them to tell their stories and interact with students, and discuss ways of responding to the genocide in Darfur. Those five days with 25 high school students in the library of Hamburg High School were memorable as well as profound. Everyone realized that they were part of something special that we didn't want to end.
We hope you celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Academy by making an investment in its next 15 years.
