The Holocaust Resource Center in the JCC is committed to remembrance of the Holocaust through education, preservation of primary sources of the history, and connecting with the younger generations in the struggle against antisemitism and hate. As part of this commitment, the HRC reaches out to and visits schools and educational organizations in the Jewish community and the community at large to make presentations and lead discussions.
Recently overhauled and reorganized by volunteers from the Jewish Federation’s Women’s Philanthropy, the center features a collection of over 1,000 books, visual and audio media, artifacts, artworks, original documents, and more related to the Holocaust, Judaism, Jewish life, antisemitism, hate crimes, and genocide. Most of the items can be checked out to borrow free of charge.
