The Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center, formally know as the Westchester Holocaust Education Center, is an interfaith, not-for-profit organization, serving
Westchester, Fairfield and Putnam counties, to encourage and enhance teaching and learning
about the Holocaust and its human rights lessons for today. |
| |
Our work with
students and teachers helps schools fulfill the New York State mandate that the
Holocaust and other human rights abuses be included in their curriculum. |
| |
Since 1994, we have brought the lessons of the Holocaust, genocide and human rights crimes to more than 1750 teachers, and through them to thousands of middle and high school students. Our programs are compelling and enlightening, making the past personally relevant to today's children and tomorrow's leaders while encouraging them to be rescuers and resisters in the face of prejudice and hate. |

Through our volunteer Educators Planning Committee, the HHREC gives teachers the unique
opportunity to develop programs for themselves and others. These programs not only enrich
teachers' knowledge about the Holocaust and related issues, they provide the lens through
which to view all other human rights violations. Call 914-696-0738 or email
whc@bestweb.net for more information.
