Director/Person-in-Charge: Mitchel Chargo

Mission: IHRE is a bold non-partisan research and education-focused nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness about the Holocaust and its impact on the world. IHRE is joining the conversation to fight and condemn growing antisemitism rooted in Holocaust denial and distortion and antisemitism that is directly linked to reduced knowledge about the Holocaust.

IHRE generates and amplifies information about the Holocaust through direct outreach and powerful campaigns so that engaged and connected young people (Gen Z and Millennials) and members of previous generations who value truth and justice are inspired to take action to honor history and carry the lessons of the Holocaust forward to the next generations. IHRE has an uncommon edge, meeting these generations where they are at and arming them with the knowledge and tools they need to feel empowered, educated, courageous and compelled to share the history, legacy, stories and lessons of the Holocaust while sharing a vision of a world without another Holocaust.

Director/Person-in-Charge: Julia White, Associate Professor and Coordinator, Atrocity Studies minor and the Spector/Warren Fellowship

Mission: The Atrocity Studies minor provides an interdisciplinary understanding of the Holocaust; the foundation of international law treaties that define genocide; crimes against humanity; issues of social justice and human rights violations; and efforts to confront the past and transform the future. The minor addresses a central tenet of education: What does it mean to be a responsible citizen in a democratic society? Students gain tools to both disrupt discrimination, prejudice, and dehumanization and to promote ethical responsibilities toward others. Courses and partnerships from across the College of Arts & Sciences and the University prepare students to analyze contemporary political situations and to confront and act upon the complexities inherent in atrocities and human and civil rights violations.

Director/Person-in-Charge: Karen Pollock CBE, Chief Executive

Year Established: 1988

Mission: We work to make sure that the millions who were murdered in this dark period of history are remembered, and honour those who survived and continue to tell the world of their experiences. Since 1988, the Holocaust Educational Trust has worked with schools, universities and communities around the UK to raise awareness and understanding of the Holocaust. One of our earliest achievements was ensuring that the Holocaust formed part of the National Curriculum for History, where it remains today. We work in schools, universities and in the community to raise awareness and understanding of the Holocaust, providing teacher training, an Outreach programme for schools, teaching aids and resources. Through our flagship programme, the Lessons from Auschwitz Project, tens of thousands of young people have had the opportunity to see for themselves the site of the former Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.
