Facing History and Ourselves
Annual Report 2011
Facing History and Ourselves is an
international educational and professional development organization whose
mission is to engage students of diverse
backgrounds in an examination of
racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in
order to promote the development of a
more humane and informed citizenry.
By studying the historical development
of the Holocaust and other examples of
genocide, students make the essential
connection between history and the
moral choices they confront in their
own lives.
and courageous programming . . . . At a time when
more and more of our population is ignorant about
history, and when the media challenge the distinction between truth and fiction–indeed, the very
existence of truth–it is clear you must continue to be
the standard.”
As we face the challenge of bringing effective civic
education to schools, with studies documenting
the decline of student engagement, tolerance, civic
skills, knowledge of history and of the Holocaust, we
must strengthen our efforts to preserve civil society.
Over the next five years, Facing History plans to
A MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
MARGOT STERN STROM
“After a week at Facing History I
came home feeling profoundly encouraged about the potential for a
restitution of meaning and purpose
in my own teaching, and considerably more hopeful for the possibilities of education at large.”
-Facing History teacher
This annual report thanks you on behalf of the thousands of teachers who, like the seminar participant
quoted above, have the opportunity to learn with us
and with their fellow educators. We are grateful for
our extraordinary board leadership, our loyal and
generous supporters, our staff and volunteers, and
the educators and students who participate in our
programs.
Today, Facing History’s work is more important than
ever. As Howard Gardner, professor at the Harvard
Graduate School of Education, says, “Facing History
and Ourselves has become a standard for ambitious
double the number of Facing History teachers implementing in classrooms worldwide and the number
of students reached in those classrooms, enabling
transformative dialogue and action around the world.
We see the demand and are poised to meet it.
This year, Facing History received a transformational
investment from a visionary donor. Richard and Susan Smith, and the Richard and Susan Smith Family
Foundation, have committed $15.5 million to fund
a full revision of Facing History and Ourselves: Holocaust and Human Behavior, and endow the Smith
Family Provost at Facing History. This extraordinary
gift will enable Facing History to fully review, update,
and infuse new scholarship into our core resource, all
within a digital framework that makes the lessons of
history accessible to students everywhere. The Smith
Family Provost will play a key role in preserving the
quality of our organization, advancing our mission
and strategic vision, and inspiring new generations of
supporters.
We brought our boards, friends, and staff to Washington and New York to do what Facing History does
best: teach and learn together and create our future.
We began the celebration of Seth Klarman’s 16 years
of leadership of the Board of Directors. Seth was
interviewed by Charlie Rose and toasted by all. He
will now co-chair the Board of Trustees with Dana
Smith. A fund is being established in the Klarman

History. Their wisdom, intellect, and generosity have
supported and guided our organization and prepared
us for the future, poised to attract new families and
new leaders. Seth’s active partnership going forward
as we develop new content and forge Facing History’s
future will continue to strengthen us.
We welcome Tracy Palandjian to lead our organization as Chair of the Board of Directors. Tracy is an
inspirational business, philanthropic, and community
leader who has assumed multiple leadership roles in
the 12 years she has been involved with Facing History and helped us extend our reach and impact.
Kwame Anthony Appiah is the new Chair of the
Board of Scholars, succeeding Martha Minow, dean
of Harvard Law School, who will remain on our
Board. Anthony is a leading scholar at Princeton University whose writing on political and moral theory,
the philosophy of language and mind, and African
intellectual history have informed our work for many
years.
These chairs are joining our strong and continuing
board leaders. All are a testimony to Facing History’s
excellence, the quality of our scholarship, and our
commitment to global education.
2 Facing History and Ourselves 2011 Annual Report
“We know that [Facing History has]
made an impact when [students are]
not thinking anymore just about
their class and their life, but they’re
thinking about how their voice can
make a difference in this world.”
-School principal, New York
A MESSAGE FROM BOARD CHAIR
SETH A. KLARMAN
Several years ago, my rabbi explained to the congregation the vicissitudes of the ebb and flow of life. In
life we receive gifts and then we have to give them
back. Our loved ones, our careers, our health are
precious gifts. We have them and hold onto them for
a while, but then, something changes, and we lose
our hold on them and have to give them back. I have
had the gift for 16 years of serving as Chair of the
Board of Directors of Facing History and Ourselves.
It has been as special a gift as I have known. But
now, in the best interest of Facing History, it is time
for me to move on; it is time for me to give it back.
I will still be around to help, but I will no longer be
Chair of the Board of Directors. I will co-chair the
Board of Trustees with Dana Smith. Tracy Palandjian
was named as Chair of the Board of Directors at the
November 2 Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees and Directors. I could not be more confident
that Tracy will lead this organization to new heights
of excellence and organizational success.
Over these wonderful years, I got much more from
Facing History than I was able to give it. I have become a better, more nuanced leader. I have become
a more confident fundraiser, secure that when I
introduce someone to Facing History, I am likely do-
My Facing History-centric lens allows me to see with
greater clarity the problems that face democratic
societies and the solutions that are within our grasp.
I have greatly enjoyed the deep friendships with
board members engaged in a shared mission with
common purpose. I have formed lifelong friendships
with many members of Facing History’s amazing,
tireless, and inspiring staff. I know of virtually no
other organization with as many talented and deeply
committed team members, moving mountains to turn
a vision into a reality. Millions upon millions of adolescents have benefitted from this crucially important
work. I know that I have grown as a leader through
the support of our board members, donors, and staff.
The work of Facing History must continue if our
children and grandchildren are to inhabit the world
that we wish them to. In these tumultuous years of
economic difficulty, fading dreams, rising inequality,
disillusionment with our leaders, revolutions throughout the Arab and Muslim world, and social unrest
here at home, we must not be passive observers as
if we were watching a depressing movie with no role
in the ending. Facing History reminds us that the
ending is not written and that we will determine the
ending. Our democracy depends on it. The next generation relies on it. Our conscience demands it. We
must be tireless, relentless, and focused in our work,
teaching the next generation the lessons of history,
instilling in them the ability to stand in the shoes of
others and become deep moral thinkers.
I extend my deepest thanks to the board members,
friends, and supporters whose generosity is highlighted in this annual report. It has been and will
continue to be an honor to work with you to achieve
our shared goals.

One of Facing History’s most significant public initiatives is
a series of Community Conversations presented in partnership with The Allstate Foundation. These events, hosted
across the country, bring prominent scholars, authors,
filmmakers, and policy leaders to participate in discussions
about civic engagement, individual, and collective responsibility, and compassion. Since its inception in 2005, the
Community Conversations series has reached more than
40,000 teachers, students, parents, policy makers, and

“Facing History and
Ourselves elicits from
young people serious
moral responses to
difficult moral
questions, and I think
we need as much of
that as we can get.”
Kwame Anthony Appiah
Professor, Princeton University
Department of Philosophy &
University Center for Human Values
Appiah was recently awarded the
2011 National Humanities Medal.
He succeeds Harvard Law School
Dean Martha Minow as Chair of the
Facing History and Ourselves Board
of Scholars.
Facing History reaches
nearly two milllion
students each year
across the globe.
With your help we can,

Facing History and Ourselves is an
international educational and professional development organization whose
mission is to engage students of diverse
backgrounds in an examination of
racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in
order to promote the development of a
more humane and informed citizenry.
By studying the historical development
of the Holocaust and other examples of
genocide, students make the essential
connection between history and the
moral choices they confront in their
own lives.
