Type of Organization or Mission: The mission of the KHC is to use the lessons of the Holocaust to educate current and future generations about the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping. The KHC is a part of Queensborough Community College and is the only 9,000 square foot space devoted to Holocaust education, including a dedicated building, specialized library, and exhibition galleries, within the City University of New York (CUNY).
Programs and Services: The KHC hosts a range of programs about Holocaust memory and its ongoing impact across, as well as relevancy to, societies around the world through annual commemorations, special events, student-focused initiatives, our QCC-faculty led National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) colloquia series, and lectures about our originally-researched exhibitions.
Publications: Humanistic Pedagogy Across the Disciplines: Approaches to Mass Atrocity Education in the Community College Context (Leshem & Traver, Palgrave 2018) and exhibit catalogues (available on the KHC's website)
