About Gloria

Gloria Glantz, the 2002 winner of the Spirit of Anne Frank Outstanding Educator Award, is a Holocaust and Tolerance educator, as well as a docent at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Nassau County, New York .  

She is a sought after speaker in various venues, both nationally, and, through videoconferencing, internationally.

She has made it her mission to see that the Shoah is not forgotten.  Her dedication to teaching tolerance and acceptance, and the lessons of the Holocaust is evidenced in the numerous, highly popular Holocaust and Tolerance courses and workshops she has developed for teachers and students.   Some of these workshops include “Perspectives on the Holocaust”, “Teaching Toward a More Tolerant Community,” “ About Anne Frank”, “Children of the Holocaust”, “The 1936 Berlin Olympics”, “Resistance During the Holocaust”, and others.  These have been presented in many school districts on Long Island, as well as at the Community Synagogue in Port Washington, New York.

In 1993, on a Fellowship to study the Holocaust and Resistance, she traveled to Poland and Israel, and studied with eminent scholars including Yehuda Bauer, Martin Gilbert, and Michael Berenbaum.

Gloria resides in Port Washington, New York with her husband Miles.  They are the proud parents of a son and a daughter, and the grandparents of three girls and two boys.
