Second Generation Speakers Bureau

MCHE's Second Generation Speakers Bureau features the children of survivors sharing their parent's memories of the Holocaust as well as their own perspectives on growing up with Holocaust survivors.

Within the Kansas City metro area*:
Speakers are available to make one hour in-school presentations to middle school, high school and adult audiences. Please schedule this presentation at least four weeks in advance.




Outside the Kansas City metro area:
Schools and groups outside of the metro area should complete the registration form and will then be contacted about the availability of our speakers to travel to your location. Please schedule this presentation at least four weeks in advance to optimize MCHE's ability to locate a speaker available to travel to your location.

PLEASE NOTE: Our speakers are not historians. They provide a personal perspective on the history of the Holocaust. MCHE asks that teachers utilize this program as a supplement to their Holocaust unit and that it be scheduled late enough in the unit that the students are already well acquainted with the history. While there is no charge for these presentations, donations to MCHE in honor of our speakers are appreciated.

Contact Jessica Rockhold at jessicar@mchekc.org or (913) 327-8195 with questions or for further details.

*The 11-county metro area includes Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas and Cass, Clay, Clinton, Jackson, Lafayette, Platte and Ray Counties in Missouri.
