Mission: To honor the memory of the millions who perished during the Holocaust by preserving their stories and educating future generations. Through our comprehensive exhibit, immersive experience, survivor testimonies, and educational programs, we aim to foster an understanding of the Holocaust's historical significance, promote tolerance, and combat prejudice and hate.

Services: Our center serves as a beacon of knowledge and a catalyst for change, striving to create a more just and compassionate world by learning from the past. We do this by: 1) Preserving History: Collecting and conserving artifacts, documents, and personal narratives from the Holocaust to ensure that these crucial pieces of history are safeguarded for future generations; 2) Educating the Public: Providing educational resources, programs, and exhibits for students, educators, and the community to deepen their understanding of the Holocaust and its lessons, its causes, and its consequences; 3) Promoting Tolerance: Encouraging dialogue and reflection on the consequences of hatred and bigotry, and inspiring individuals to stand against all forms of discrimination; and 4) Honoring Survivors: Ensuring that the voices and experiences of Holocaust survivors are remembered and respected.
