Amber Maze has been hired as Holocaust education and program coordinator for the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis. This full-time position is shared in equal partnership with the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center. Maze is responsible for overseeing Holocaust education for the Indianapolis Jewish community and providing Holocaust education resources and programming to students, teachers and the general community in central Indiana.
