Holocaust Education

Remembering the Holocaust

JCRC’s Holocaust Education programs are designed to educate individuals and communities about the legacy of the Shoah (Holocaust).

JCRC’s educational programs teach about the millions who perished and honors survivors and heroes by encouraging reflection on the moral and spiritual questions raised by the Holocaust while promoting religious freedom and tolerance for all individuals.
