A critical part of studying the Holocaust is making the connection to current issues such as prejudice, hatred, and contemporary genocide. We received an email last week from an organization in Maine created by survivors from Darfur. From their website:
The Fur Cultural Revival is a non-government, non-profit organization committed to broadening the public’s awareness of genocide in Darfur; serving the needs of the Darfur community residing in the greater Portland area and preserving the Fur tribal culture.

The Holocaust Center for Humanity's mission is to inspire teaching and learning for humanity in the schools and communities of the Northwest through study of the Holocaust.
