Bearing Witness Through Education

At CAJE, we believe education is one of the strongest responses to injustice. Through programs like the Leo Martin March of the Living, we teach teens how hatred and dehumanization evolve over time, how vital it is to bear witness, and steps to becoming upstanders. When our students stand at Auschwitz or Majdanek, they hear firsthand from survivors.

The same forces that shaped the Shoah — silence, distortion, and hatred — still persist. That is why CAJE remains committed to educating about misinformation and equipping our youth to respond with courage and clarity.
