The visit included a view of the infamous rail car, one of nine in the world of those used in the Holocaust.

A Survivor, Ruben Offenback, came to speak with the students after which they were allowed to ask him questions.

The tour is part of the Holocaust Documentation and Education's outreach program which also includes: The Educational Outreach department conducts the following programs:

Student Awareness Days that are prejudice reduction symposia whereby 250 to 500 high school students at each program learn the dangers of racism, hatred, and bigotry through videos, lectures, and round-table discussions with Survivors of the Holocaust.

The Speakers' Bureau provides speakers in schools, community organizations, churches, and synagogues.

The Teachers' Institute provides in-service credits to teachers from Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties public schools. Three hours of university graduate credit toward recertification can also be obtained.

The Student Act of Kindness Contest requests that students share their "acts of kindness" with us and how they changed someone's life. We will award the top ten entries with a $100 United States Savings Bond, and each of the winners will have their names inscribed on our wall of "Students Making a Difference."

The Annual Student Visual Arts and Writing Contest invites students to send in their experience and thoughts in a visual or written format.
