Art and creativity serve as powerful tools for survival in times of adversity. This interactive field trip explores the stories of several Jewish artists and photographers during the Holocaust who have been featured in past CJM exhibitions, highlighting how varied artistic practices served as forms of Jewish resistance. A CJM educator guides students in learning about this chapter of history through art and personal narratives, and makes contemporary connections to fighting antisemitism and hate today. There is also an option to include a live presentation of Holocaust survivor or descendant testimony in an additional virtual session, in partnership with the JFCS Holocaust Center. This tour is designed for students in grades 7–12 who have some previous learning about the Holocaust.

The CJM offers an array of free, downloadable resources designed to prepare students and teachers to view exhibitions, and to support your tour experience.
