"Studying the Holocaust changed the way I make decisions." - Student

Welcome!

Welcome to the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center's new blog!

The Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 1989. The Holocaust Center supports teachers in the public and private schools of Washington (and throughout the Pacific Northwest!) who want to introduce Holocaust studies into their curricula.

The Center provides educational materials, including resources that preserve local connections to the Holocaust for grades 5-12 through university levels.

It is through the study of the Holocaust that young people and adults learn about human behavior, social responsibility, moral courage, the importance of speaking out against intolerance, and the difference just one person can make.
