“Holocaust education is a humanizing endeavor, a journey through the past that helps us reconsider how we understand ourselves as human beings. It’s a subject that should engage the heart, help develop better judgment and teach empathy.” – Brendan Murphy
Mr. Brendan Murphy, a teacher at Atlanta’s Marist School, brings us a three-part educational program–including a Shabbat dinner–covering the Holocaust and antisemitism.

Murphy received his undergraduate degree from Notre Dame and his master’s degree from Spring Hill College.
