Adam Strom

Adam Strom brings a unique blend of personal and professional dedication to education about migration. Growing up in a family whose roots trace to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, and now married to the daughter of an Ecuadorian immigrant, his commitment to building empathy and understanding across differences is deeply personal. As an educator who taught first- and second-generation immigrant students, Adam co-founded Re-Imagining Migration to address a critical gap in education: creating learning environments where migration experiences are understood as fundamental to our democracy, where schools become models of inclusion, and where belonging drives academic success and thriving communities. After beginning his career in Hollywood, he served as program director at the Tenement Museum before joining the senior leadership team at Facing History and Ourselves. Educational resources developed under Adam’s direction have reached millions of students in tens of thousands of classrooms worldwide, including books, lessons, and films on immigration, civil and human rights, genocide, and prejudice.
