Description:
The Holocaust Remembrance Project is a national essay contest for
high school students that is designed to encourage and promote the
study of the Holocaust. Participation in this project encourages
students to think responsibly, be aware of world conditions that
undermine human dignity, and make decisions that promote the respect
and value inherent in every person.
The project serves as a living memorial to the millions of innocent
victims of the Holocaust. The Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation
recognizes the moral imperative of teaching young people about this
watershed event and the central importance of passing on to future
generations a profound understanding of the consequences of the
Holocaust and a sense of responsibility to the human community.
High school students across the United States and Mexico are invited
to incorporate the project into their study of the Holocaust and to
use it as a means to personally react to the messages of the
Holocaust. Scholarships and other prizes are awarded to students in
first, second and third place categories.
First Place winners participate in an all-expense-paid trip to
Washington, D.C. to visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and other
historic sites. In addition, scholarships of up to $10,000 will be
awarded to the first-place winners.
