30 MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATORS FROM 8 U.S. STATES, CROATIA, HUNGARY & POLAND RECEIVE COVETED LERNER FELLOWSHIPS

The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous has chosen Trinity Ruggles of The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education as a 2015 Lerner Fellow. As a Fellow, Ruggles has went on the Summer Institute, a high-level intensive academic seminar in which participants met with Holocaust survivors and noted scholars.

The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous was created in 1986 to provide financial assistance to non-Jews who risked their lives and often the lives of their families to shelter and rescue Jews during the Holocaust. Today, the JFR supports more than 500 aged and needy rescuers in 20 countries. The Foundation also runs an internationally lauded Holocaust education program for middle and high school teachers and Holocaust center personnel who preserve the legacy of the rescuers by teaching the history of the Holocaust
