Type of Organization or Mission: As one of California’s leading resources for Holocaust and genocide education, our work increases awareness about Jewish history and the causes and consequences of antisemitism, racism, and discrimination. Through a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and patterns of genocide, we inspire moral courage and social responsibility in future generations. The Holocaust Center is a program of Jewish Family and Children’s Services and includes an Educational Resource Center; Library (with 13,000 volumes, films, 500 Yizkor books); and Archive (including documents and artifacts, historical pamphlets and periodicals, photographs, and rare books).
Services: Teacher training workshops; Curriculum development; Commemorations; Seminars and Fellowships for students; Exhibits; Speakers Bureau; and Educational Programs.
California Teachers Collaborative for Holocaust and Genocide Education: The statewide network unites 14 institutions for Holocaust and genocide education. Through standards-aligned lesson plans, expert-led trainings, and a wealth of educational resources, we empower and unify educators in teaching the lessons of history and about what happens when bias goes unchecked. The California Teachers Collaborative was established by the JFCS Holocaust Center, with support from the California Department of Education, Marin County Office of Education, and the State of California. https://holocaustcenter.jfcs.org/education-resource/california-collaborative/
