Organizer of Celebrating the Jewish Partisans - Teaching and Preserving Their Legacies
Founded in 2000, the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation is dedicated to bringing the celebration of the heroic resistance of the Jewish partisans to the world. Already, JPEF has empowered millions of young people to stand up to antisemitism, discrimination and oppression, using innovative educational materials that highlight the courage and perseverance of the Jewish partisans. As the only organization dedicated solely to teaching the Jewish partisan legacy, nearly every major Holocaust organization in the world relies on JPEF to bring the empowering lessons of the partisans to their students.
