History

Since 1989, the Holocaust Center for Humanity has taught the history of the Holocaust so that our 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, the Holocaust Center for Humanity remains dedicated to its responsibility to fight hate by educating students, teachers, and the general public about the dangers of intolerance and the difference each one of us can make.

Mandates/Sources of Authority

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's work is funded by individual donations and grants.

Records Management and Collecting Policies

The Holocaust Center for Humanity in Seattle gratefully accepts photographs, documents, correspondence, textiles, ceremonial objects, personal testimonies, and oral histories in support of its mission to teach tolerance and understanding through the lessons of the Holocaust in schools and communities throughout the region. The Center does not accept artifacts that it cannot reasonably expect to use in accordance with that mission now or in the future. Although an item may indeed be associated with the Holocaust, the Center accepts only those items that it believes will help fulfill its mission.
