Holocaust Center Student Volunteer Program

The Next Chapter

The Next Chapter is a volunteer program for 11th and 12th grade students who want to learn more about the Holocaust. Teen volunteers are matched with Holocaust survivors who they will interview and record their oral histories. Also, the teens will work with research partners at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, Poland to try to determine what happened to each survivor’s family, community, and town after the war.

Students will meet once a week at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco to learn about the history of the Holocaust, conduct research, and complete the oral history essays. The program will run from November through May.

Students will receive community service credit for their participation.
