Abstract

A willingness to provide leadership, to seek private funds, and to interest colleagues to participate constitute critical elements in establishing a teaching institute to explore a significant historical issue. With good fortune, the results of an institute might have impressive long-term consequences. A teacher from Alabama, having recently completed the Holocaust Institute at Florida State University (FSU) concluded, "I came away with a deeper appreciation of historical events that lead to major world-shattering events. I have also made a personal commitment to concentrate on emphasizing tolerance as I teach, because of what I learned here this week." A north Florida teacher found that, "This past week was the most valuable, informative, and heart-wrenching experience I have had in 24 years of teaching. I learned more information in a week than I ever thought possible."1
