The Crocus Project launches its first U.S. pilot program

We are excited to announce the launch of the Crocus Project's first pilot program in the United States. This marks a significant milestone as we expand our efforts to bring the project’s educational initiatives to new communities. The Crocus Project, which uses the symbolism of the yellow crocus flower to teach students about the Holocaust, aims to engage younger generations in meaningful dialogue about human rights, tolerance, and remembrance.

In this important phase of the project, we are delighted to partner with Emily Loeb, Director of Programs and Education at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is the first Holocaust center in the U.S. to formally participate in the Crocus Project, helping to bring this impactful educational experience to local schools and communities. Together, we will work to foster understanding and compassion, inspiring students to reflect on the lessons of the past and apply them to the world today.

We are confident that this partnership will not only enhance the educational offerings at the Holocaust Center but also serve as a model for future collaborations across the United States. The Crocus Project is committed to creating a space for deep reflection and learning, ensuring that the history of the Holocaust continues to resonate with future generations.
