The Holocaust Center for Humanity teaches the lessons of the Holocaust, inspiring students of all ages to confront bigotry and indifference, promote human dignity, and take action. The Holocaust Center for Humanity builds courageous communities by teaching and honoring the history, stories, and lessons of the Holocaust. These lessons give people of all ages an empathetic lens to view today’s complex issues and see the role they can each play in fighting hate.
Since 1989, the Holocaust Center for Humanity has taught the history of the Holocaust so that local survivors, their families, and millions of other victims will not be forgotten, and their stories would inspire positive action. Through education, events, field trips, museum visits, and community programs focused throughout Washington state, the Holocaust Center for Humanity remains dedicated to fighting hate by educating students, teachers, and the general public about the dangers of intolerance and the difference each one of us can make. Broadly, the Holocaust Center’s work can be categorized in three major groups of: Museum, Programs & Outreach, and Teacher Resources.
