Overview

The mission of the Holocaust Museum goes beyond the teaching of the Holocaust as history to its relevance for us today.  Knowing about this watershed event from the past is essential to building a foundation for action in the present.

Our educational programming begins with the Holocaust and ends with connections to what has happened in the lifetime of the students and what they can do to make a difference.  Respect for others begins with their family and community, then extends out to those in need around the world. 

Anne Frank wrote in her diary in April of 1944, “If God lets me live... I’ll make my voice heard... I will go out into the world and work for mankind.”  Even though Anne died during the Holocaust, her diary has allowed millions of people to experience some of her life and she has made her voice heard all over the world.
