A tale of two museums in Washington, DC.
Holocaust Museum
🟦 Opened 1993
🟦 Prime federal land on the National Mall
🟦 265,000 sf
🟦 1.7 million annual visitors
🟦 Free admission
🟦 Included on every major school tour package (WorldStrides, EF, Brightspark)
🟦 Commemorates 11 million dead
Victims of Communism Museum
🟥 Opened 2022
🟥 Rented office space, 3 blocks off the mall
🟥 9,500 sf
🟥 "Thousands" of annual visitors
🟥 Free admission
🟥 Not included on any major school tour package
🟥 Commemorates 100 million dead
The facts
🟧 Both museums are free
🟧 Holocaust Museum is on every standard school tour itinerary
🟧 The Victims of Communism Museum is on none
🟧 WorldStrides alone runs 400,000 students through DC each year
An entire generation of children is taken to mourn 11 million dead and never told about the 100 million.
Why not both?

✨ Today, we were pleased to welcome a delegation of undergraduate students from the @universityofga, as part of a custom educational visit organized by @worldstrides.
🗣️ Centered on “#Morocco’s Policy Landscape and Economic Outlook,” the session offered students the opportunity to engage with PCNS experts on Morocco’s domestic policies, the country’s strategic positioning in a changing global environment, the external sector of the Moroccan economy, and key agricultural policy challenges, while fostering interactive exchanges and insightful discussions around Morocco’s evolving policy priorities and development trajectories.
🤝 We thank all participants for their thoughtful contributions and engaging discussions throughout the session.

Earlier this month, Rockwood Summit's advanced choirs traveled to Orlando, to compete in the WorldStrides Heritage Music Festival. Both groups received a gold rating and earned the Choral Sweepstakes trophy for programs with more than one choir and the closest combined score to a perfect 200/200! #WeAreRockwood
ALT Rockwood choir students smile at a competition.

One of the best parts about Seville is the ability to solo travel. The other weekend the 3 of us were able to take a 30€, 2 hour flight to Tenerife. #Tenerife #WorldStrides #Travel #Seville
