Since 2016, a total of 223 Ukrainian teachers have attended Centropa’s weekend seminars.
Together we have developed programs where teenagers create their own projects on Jewish history, sent our traveling exhibition of Ukrainian Jewish stories to 44 schools, and launched competitions so students can tell us about their town’s Jewish history.
Our dedicated Ukrainian teachers have stood up for Jewish history. It’s time to stand up for them.
Centropa has a network of more than 200 teachers throughout Ukraine. Whenever we can, we provide small subventions for them to use in their classrooms and with their students.

If you are looking to provide general humanitarian aid for Ukraine, we suggest you contact organizations such as CARE, JDC, Caritas, and many others.
Between June, 2006 and March, 2020, we held regular get-togethers for the people we interviewed in both Vienna and Budapest.
During Covid, we’ve been sending them newsletters, along with books, flowers, CDs and boxes of sweets.
No other organization works in as many schools in Eastern Europe as we do. Much of our funding comes from the Claims Conference, the German government and the EU.
If this is an issue that concerns you, write us at office [at] centropa.org and we can target programs together.
We target specific school districts where we have been making a difference: inner city Newark and Baltimore, rural schools in the Carolinas, Palm Beach County, Houston and East Los Angeles.
Help us stand with them with competitions and award winning programs. Most of our students are minority, most depend on free or reduced cost lunches.
Like every non-profit, we need support to cover our adminstration costs, as well as developing our website, printing our annual reports and paying our accountants each year. We have teams working in Washington, Hamburg, Vienna and Budapest.
General support is always welcome—and needed! and we can target programs together.
If you have a specific idea for a program or a question about how donations are used, please do get in touch.
