The mission of the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center (HAMEC) is to educate students and adults, personalizing the Holocaust so that they learn the consequences of racism, ethnic cleansing, and intolerance. The Holocaust was a watershed event, not only in the 20th century, but in the entire history of humanity. The study of the Holocaust provides us with one of the most effective ways to work with students to examine basic moral issues and value systems. 

In the past year, HAMEC reached over 39,000 students and adults, at 177 schools (public, private, and parochial), organizations and events. Because of the pandemic, over the past couple years, most of our programs have been virtual (through Zoom and Skype), however, this year we have been conducting in-person events as well. Because of our ability to have the survivors, liberators and resistors share their testimonies virtually, we have been working with schools and organizations world-wide. Not only have we had requests from schools nationwide, but we have had requests from various institutions from countries of every continent except for Antarctica.
