Education and Outreach

Teacher training is an essential part of the Holocaust Resource Center’s mission because it provides educators with the knowledge and skill they need to bring the values of respect, understanding and empowerment to life in the classroom. 

We achieve this through high school, undergraduate and graduate courses, workshops, and community outreach, like visiting schools for talks. The Center also administers the Holocaust, Genocide and Modern Humanity (ID-1800) course for high school students, and the tuition-free Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Teaching the Holocaust and Prejudice Reduction. Thousands of students and teachers have benefited from these initiatives. 

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.

The HRC’s success in developing and implementing training programs over the course of nearly four decades has established it as a regional leader in promoting awareness and education about the Holocaust. Much of this success is contributed to lasting partnerships with organizations such as History Unfolded: U.S. Newspapers and the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, the Holocaust Council of Greater MetroWest, and Facing History and Ourselves.
