A Discussion with Merrill Eisenhower Atwater
sEPTEMBER 30TH

Join us for an inspiring evening with Merrill Eisenhower, great-grandson of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, as he reflects on President Eisenhower’s pivotal role in documenting the horrors of the Holocaust and preserving its history for future generations.

Guests will also learn how President Eisenhower’s commitment to preserving the historical record continues to inspire efforts here in the Carolinas. Through the work of the Greenspon Center, we are building on that legacy—preserving the past, educating for the present, and envisioning a future where the lessons of the Holocaust help confront antisemitism and all forms of hate.

The Stan Greenspon Center's Certification in Holocaust Pedagogy Program (CHP) provides intensive training on how to teach the Holocaust in secondary schools. Our ten-month program culminates with an on-ground learning experience in Poland. 

We offer in-school programs for grades 6–12. Flexible and adaptable for all school types, sessions are customized to your needs and include Holocaust history, Jewish identity,  Jewish American history, antisemitism, and Israel education. 

Our Center is dedicated to providing high-quality professional development. We offer training for middle and high school Holocaust educators and collaborate with schools to deliver comprehensive professional development focused on antisemitism education and Jewish inclusion for administrators, counselors, and curriculum specialists.

Our Education team has prepared an educator toolkit for Holocaust teachers of all levels. In addition to sharing pedagogical and instructional resources, the Greenspon Center has developed a full Holocaust elective curriculum, intended for NC secondary schools.

Each January, the Stan Greenspon Center hosts a community International Holocaust Remembrance Day event– an opportunity to educate, reflect, and commemorate. Past events have included speakers such as Geddy Lee of Rush, along with educational outreach such as the Seeing Auschwitz exhibit. Event details are often released by November of each year.
