About this Event
Join us for the launch of the Holocaust Education Girl Scout Patch, created by local Girl Scout Lily Sassani with the mentorship of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. The program will feature a video documenting the development of the patch and an overview of the the stories it tells, followed by a Q&A with Lily.
The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is a program of The Tree of Life.
About the Patch:
Over the past two years, Lily Sassani has been working to develop the patch program in pursuit of The Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouts, with mentorship fron Holocaust Center staff.
The mission of the patch program is to address the injustices of the Holocaust and antisemitism, as well as to empower individuals to build a more humane and respectful society. The patch program is framed by the girl scout’s values of courage, inclusion, and truth, with the goal of educating participants about the Holocaust and the role of Girl Guides during World War II. By the end of the program, Girl Scouts will understand these core teachings and learn the importance of opposing discrimination, as well as gain the inspiration to channel these teachings into action.
