ABMF's mission is to safeguard the memory of Auschwitz-Birkenau through the preservation of its original artifacts and bringing education about Auschwitz to American students. We want more people to know what Auschwitz was with the ultimate goal of developing an understanding of what leads to genocide.
Together with the United Jewish Federation of Utah - dedicated to preserving, enriching, and caring for the Jewish communities - ABMF brings lessons of Auschwitz to Utah high school students and broader audiences.

If you are interested in becoming an Auschwitz Legacy Fellow, you:

Eligibility:
The program is available to high school teachers from all over the U.S. who have never visited Auschwitz-Birkenau before.
Participation in the program is free of charge (double occupancy hotel accommodations, meals, and international flights included); upon acceptance Fellows will be charged a $150 administrative fee. Those who prefer single-occupancy will incur additional costs.
This unique program focuses specifically on Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most notorious Nazi concentration and death camps and the most recognizable symbol of horrors of the Holocaust. It will teach our Fellows universal lessons through its lens.
