Keeping the Stories Alive

Holocaust Education’s Mission

We honor and cherish the courage, resourcefulness and resilience of survivors to ensure their legacy lives on.

The Holocaust Education Department of Greater MetroWest NJ provides resources and information to educate our community about the Holocaust. We strive to honor both those that survived and those that perished during this horrific period.

We implement programs and commemorations for the community and carry out programming in public and private schools, municipalities and businesses.
