About this user

The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida is an organization dedicated to combating anti-Semitism, racism and prejudice with the ultimate goal of developing a moral and just community through its extensive outreach of educational and cultural programs. Using the lessons of the Holocaust as a tool, the Center teaches the principles of good citizenship to thousands of people of all ages, religions and backgrounds each year.

Our Center is one of the oldest facilities of its kind in the nation. It houses permanent and temporary exhibit space, archives, and a research library. It is a nonprofit organization supported by tax-exempt donations, and is open to the public free of charge.

The Holocaust Center has begun a new project, UpStanders: Stand Up to Bullying, that addresses bullying in a useful way. It is based on solid research that tells us that both victims and bullies suffer lifelong consequences for their actions, and that the single most effective intervention to interrupt bullying behavior is peer pressure from other students.

UpStanders began in December 2010, with a series of in-school presentations by John Halligan, a man whose son Ryan committed suicide after years of intense bullying. Other presentations were made to community groups, emphasizing the need for each of us to be an "UpStander" rather than a bystander in order to protect the rights and safety of others.

Students in ten Orange County Public middle schools are now involved with the project, and are learning to be part of UpStanders. In addition to school presentations, they are having visits to the Holocaust Center where they will work with volunteers who will help provide them with the skills and confidence they need to take the pledge:

* I will STAND UP to bullying

* I won't be a bully

* I won't let anyone bully me

* I won't let anyone bully someone else

During the Holocaust, a few brave Upstanders took risks to protect others. We are encouraging young people today to follow their example. Each student can take responsibility for stopping bullying in their own school and community, and will gain a deeper appreciation of their power to make a difference.
