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.

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.

Volunteers: There are 14 3G current organizations across the country.The leaders of those organizations sit on our Regional Council and each group has either a board or lay leaders they depend on.

Mission: Living Links™ empowers descendants of Holocaust Survivors to create enduring communities devoted to sharing their families’ legacies. We pledge to keep the lessons of the Holocaust relevant and inspire individuals to stand up to hatred, intolerance, and antisemitism. 

Living Links™ is devoted to building a 3G community of  impassioned leaders. They strengthen our shared purpose of ensuring the lessons of the Holocaust continue to inspire individuals to counter intolerance and hate. We have 3 pillars of engagement for growth: 1) We Cultivate: We help local 3G groups (grandchildren of survivors) throughout the United States thrive and build their communities. Currently there are 10 established organizations, and we intend encourage groups to form in major cities throughout the country. As well, we are focused on creating partnerships and affiliations with existing Holocaust institutions to create a strong relationship to the next generation of leaders; 2) We Educate: The centerpiece of our organization is a Speaker Training Program to guide 3Gs to learn and share their family stories compellingly with schools, organizations, and community groups. As well, we will provide programs that deepen our understanding of the Holocaust and inspire us to confront contemporary issues; and 3) We Advocate: We will use the unique moral voice of the 3G community to speak out on contemporary issues.
