inSIGHT Through Education recently hosted Legacy of Impact, a powerful celebration honoring Holocaust survivors, dedicated educators, and the next generation of student leaders. The event recognized over 100 students from 12 Palm Beach County schools as inaugural Goldsmith Student Scholars of the Holocaust. The celebration united past, present, and future voices in a shared commitment to remembrance, truth, and standing against hate.
As a Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) Center of Excellence, inSIGHT facilitated this partnership to pilot the How Was It Possible? A Holocaust Curriculum For and By Teachers online curriculum — an innovative teacher-driven program. With nearly 500 students completing this prestigious program, the district continues to set the standard for Holocaust education nationwide.
The event was attended by local Holocaust survivors, students, their families, JFR Executive Vice President Stanlee Stahl, educators, district administrators, and inSIGHT board members. Guests were seated side by side — students with survivors and teachers — sharing stories and forging intergenerational connections. A solemn candle-lighting ceremony marked Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Special honors were presented to Julie Gates, recipient of the Naftaly Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education, and Randi Posner, recipient of the Salton Spirit of Service Award. Chaired by Betsy Joseph and Carole Newman, Legacy of Impact celebrated the power of memory and education to inspire empathy, critical thinking, and action against hate.
“inSIGHT’s vision is to reach every student, every year,” said Kelly Warsaw, inSIGHT president and CEO, “with lessons that open hearts, challenge minds, and strengthen our community.”
inSIGHT Through Education thanks its season sponsors — Morgan Stanley, Palm Beach Daily News, Palm Beach Post, and The Palm Beach Center to Combat Antisemitism & Hatred at the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County — and exclusive AV sponsor Ascension Audio for helping bring this event to life.
