Mission: The Ninth Candle's mission is to end antisemitism by sharing knowledge. We fulfill this mission by partnering with schools across the United States to improve standards in Holocaust education.

Services: The Ninth Candle serves middle- and high schools with educational programs for students in grades six-through-twelve, and with professional development programs for teachers. Our programs are distinctive for being tailor made: each one is the outcome of a collaborative process in which we partner with the school to learn about their community and their goals. We also champion inquiry-based learning, using historical documents to help participants to understand how and why the Holocaust happened in the time and the place that did. Our programs are always offered free of charge.

Year Established: 2005
Type of Organization: 501(c)3

Mission: 3GNY is an educational non-profit organization founded by grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. As a living link, we preserve the legacies and the lessons of the Holocaust. Our mission is to educate diverse communities about the perils of intolerance and to provide a supportive forum for the descendants of survivors. Our generation is the last living link to survivors. It is primarily through us that future generations will hear the actual stories of our grandparents’ survival. We must ensure that others see the human face of the Holocaust, as well as understand its details, its place in history and how it is viewed and discussed today.

Services: Our WEDU ("We Educate") program trains and sends 3G volunteers to schools and community groups to compellingly share their families' Holocaust experiences with others. 3GNY also creates forums for descendants to meet, learn, connect, and share ideas, through educational and social programming in NYC and virtually.

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.

Mission: Eternal Life-Hemshech, Inc. was formed on September 3, 1964 by Holocaust survivors who settled in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Their primary goal was to build a monument that would memorialize their six million brethren who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. Donations to Hemshech continue to support the maintenance of this memorial and the annual Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) observance for the Atlanta community.

Director/Person-in-Charge: Karen Pollack 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.

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.
