The goal of the Jewish Studies Program is to provide students at Northeastern University the opportunity to learn about the culture and religion of the Jewish people and its historic impact on the civilizations of the world. Courses are offered in the areas of history, music, political science, sociology, religion and literature. The program also sponsors public lectures, performances and exhibitions related to Jewish Studies.

A new cooperative relationship between Northeastern University and Hebrew College allows for tuition-free cross-registration and exchange of library privileges for students and faculty.

The Bernard A. Stotsky Professorship in Jewish Historical and Cultural Studies was created in 1991 as a result of a generous gift from Dr. Bernard A. Stotsky. It is intended to support a faculty member in Northeastern University's College of Arts and Sciences who pursues broad ethical, cultural and social issues arising out of the suffering and heroism of the Holocaust. In July of 1992 Prof. Joshua Jacobson of the Department of Music was named the first Stotsky Professor.

Funding for Hear our Voices: Music in Terezin was provided, in part, by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts; Combined Jewish Philanthropies; Hebrew College; The Lifebridge Foundation; Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities, a state-based Affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Boston Park Plaza Hotel; Alfred Nash Patterson Foundation for the Choral Arts; and by Northeastern University's Office of the Provost, College of Arts and Sciences, the Center for the Arts, Jewish Studies Program, The Bernard Stotsky Professorship in Jewish Studies and Hillel Foundation.

Their plan Nathaniel Watson, Kaiser Overall was to use Terezin (or Theresienstadt, as it was called in German) as a "model David Ripley, -baritone Der Tod settlement," a facade to hide the truth of the extermination of European Jewry. Paul Kirby, More than one hundred thousand Jews were sent to Terezin, including many Mary Westbrook-Geha, mezzo- Der Trommler prominent writers, scholars and musicians.

But the truth was that of the 150,000 Jews who were sent to Terezin Steven Lipsitt, Music Director between 1941 and 1945, only 11,000 survived. The rest either perished from Herschel Garfein, Stage Director malnutrition and disease in the ghetto or were sent to the death camps in Poland.
