Guatemala, the first of its kind in Central America. In parallel to its exhibitions, which allow visitors to learn from the past through a series of galleries and installations, the museum hosts workshops and seminars for teachers and scholars aiming to transmit the knowledge and educational tools required for Holocaust education. In partnership with the Guatemalan Ministry of Education, YIU has started a large educational campaign in which the Holocaust by Bullets exhibition will travel throughout Guatemala providing a vital pedagogical experience to young people who would otherwise have had little access to such information. A teacher-training program will accompany each exhibit. So far, over 550 teachers participated in the workshops and 50,000 students from public and private schools have visited the exhibition.

In 2017, Yahad-In Unum signed a partnership agreement with UNESCO to strengthen co-operation between the two organizations in the field of Holocaust and genocide education. The organizations will work together, mostly in the Latin America and Caribbean regions, presenting the "Holocaust by Bullets” exhibition, displayed for the first time at the UNESCO Headquarters in January 2015 and placed thereafter under UNESCO patronage.
