The Education Division of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is pleased to announce the 2008 Arthur and Rochelle Belfer Next Step Regional Conferences for Educators. The conferences are funded through a generous grant from the Belfer Foundation.

Please refer each region's Belfer Next Step Conference information for the application deadline.

 The Belfer Next Step Regional Conferences will lay the foundation for Belfer alumni to assume leadership roles in Holocaust education in their region. The conferences will provide further professional growth in pedagogy and the history by examining issues related to the history, literature and moral and ethical implications of the Holocaust.

Belfer alumni in each region who wish to expand their role as leaders in Holocaust education are invited to apply. The online application for each region may be accessed below.

Up to 30 Belfer alumni in each region will be chosen to participate in the Next Step conferences. All participants will receive a stipend to help defray travel expenses, and meals and lodging during the conference will be provided.
