  In partnership with host universities, the Holocaust Educational Foundation sponsors the biannual Lessons & Legacies conferences. These interdisciplinary gatherings, which generally draw 200-250 scholars and teachers on the Holocaust from around the world, have been widely acclaimed, as has the book series, published by Northwestern University Press, which has resulted from the proceedings.
