The Zekelman Holocaust Center Art and Writing Competition
2025 Competition Theme is “Rise Against Hate: Voices of Courage, Then and Now”
This theme asks students to reflect on what it means to stand up to hatred — in words, actions, and everyday choices. Through the lens of Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl and Elie Wiesel’s Night, students will explore historical examples of resistance, resilience, and moral courage, and then apply those lessons to the world around them. It invites young people to connect the past to the present and find their voice in the face of injustice, whether in their schools or local communities. January 23, 2026 is the submission due date, and the judging and award ceremony is March 15, 2026. For more details, please go to: https://holocaustcenter.org/kappy-family-art-and-writing-competition/
