Based in Brookdale, Pennsylvania, it supports educators, students, and the broader community through an extensive library, permanent archives, and a Teacher Resource Center that provides curricula and study materials, along with a Speakers’ Bureau featuring scholars, educators, and Holocaust survivors. The center runs educational programs such as leadership conferences, theatrical performances, teacher training, an annual colloquium, and student writing and art contests for grades from fifth grade through college, while also partnering on community initiatives with public and national institutions. Founded in 1979 as the Center for Holocaust Studies, it maintains a mission to promote awareness and education about genocide, human rights, and civil rights issues, including court-mandated programs for juvenile bias crime offenders in the local region.
