The story of the Terezín artists, richly captured in Our Will to Live, is ideal for teaching about propaganda, intolerance, genocide, and the power of art to sustain us. Our education programs inspire compassion, empathy, and a deeper understanding of history.

I will always want to fight against bigotry! I’m so glad TMF can come to my school every year.” Student at North Reading High School “I felt astonished. It was amazing to hear first-hand from a Holocaust survivor.” Student at Concord Academy “I felt amazed at what so many people had to go through, and that they still found it in them to make art and music.” Student at The Waldorf School |
