24th Annual Martin & Doris Rosen Symposium: Survivors
Advertisement
The Appalachian State University Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies (CJHPS) will host the 24th Annual Martin and Doris Rosen Symposium from July 9–15, 2026, on Appalachian State’s Boone campus. The Symposium is supported by the Claims Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Martin and Doris Rosen Symposium Endowment, and community partners.
For more than two decades, the Rosen Symposium has brought educators from across North Carolina and the nation together to deepen their understanding of the Holocaust and strengthen how it is taught. Participants engage with renowned scholars, pedagogy experts, and survivors through lectures, workshops, and discussions.
This year’s theme, “Survivors,” honors those who continue to share their firsthand accounts while recognizing the generations now carrying their legacy forward. Survivor testimony remains central to the Symposium—offering participants the opportunity to learn from and engage directly with survivors, and fostering a depth of understanding that no other form of education can provide.
The Symposium includes approximately 40 hours of instruction, discussion, demonstrations, and public programs designed for teachers, students, and the broader community. Many sessions are free and open to the public.
