History and Mission
The HRC was established in 1982 to foster and reinforce ongoing awareness of the Holocaust among students, teachers and community members. From its inception, the Foundation's founders recognized education as the integral driving force behind the organization.
Today, the Center continues to honor its founders by promoting messages of respect, understanding and empowerment. We fulfill our educational mandate in three ways: collections, commemorative events and teacher training.
HRC programs and resources align with the New Jersey State Mandate on Holocaust Education. Through our various initiatives, we seek to learn from the past in order to create a better future.
Holocaust Center of Excellence
The Holocaust Resource Center team is honored to be a Jewish Foundation for the Righteous Holocaust Center of Excellence. Membership in this privileged cohort provides our educators with access and scholarships to participate in the JFR's world class seminars and institutes.

Together We Remember
April is #GenocideAwarenessMonth. Join the HRC and the #TogetherWeRemember Coalition for thirty days of remembrance, learning, and activism to bring us closer to the promise of #NeverAgain. Discover inspiring events, access resources, and connect with students and survivors of identity-based violence across the world. Together we will apply the lessons of the past to the present to counter division and hate in our schools, communities, and on social media. Visit our campaign website to get started.
