Visit the Holocaust Center for Humanity for a limited run of the traveling exhibit Let Me Be Myself: The Life Story of Anne Frank. This exhibit from the Anne Frank House provides an immersive experience of Anne’s life, the rise of Hitler, and the devastating impacts of the Holocaust on Jewish families and communities. Let Me Be Myself encourages visitors to reflect on the dangers of stereotypes and hatred, and gain a deeper understanding of the role we all play in combating hate.

关于我们
For a generation, the Holocaust Center for Humanity has been teaching tolerance to students of all ages through universal lessons of the Holocaust.
Free of charge, we send teaching trunks to schools throughout the Northwest, packed with all the resources and teaching materials needed to teach an age appropriate Holocaust section. Through lessons that explore the roles of bystanders, victims, perpetrators, and "upstanders,"? we train and work with teachers who challenge students to think critically and become engaged citizens.
This year, over 20,000 students will hear accounts of Holocaust experiences from local Survivors, Liberators, and descendants of survivors. 18,000 will view survivor oral histories and research the Holocaust and genocide on our website. We will welcome over 15,000 students and other visitors to our education center and museum. 9,000 students attending 150 schools will learn lessons of tolerance using our Teaching Trunks. 5,000 subscribers will stay connected through social media and our monthly e-newsletter. 3,500 teachers will tap into our resources and receive individual support from Center staff. 250 teachers will attend our continuing education seminars. 800 students from around the region will enter our annual Writing, Art, and Film Contest.
After introducing the Holocaust to their students using our resources and programs, teachers talk about a culture change in their classrooms, hallways, and on the playing fields. When they study the Holocaust and human rights, students begin to understand that their choices and voices make a difference.
Museum: The Center's museum exhibit explores the Holocaust through personal, local survivor stories that must be told. Through their testimony, artifacts, and related narrative, this deeply moving and sometimes uplifting exhibit explores themes that are as meaningful today as ever.

Today is Giving Tuesday. When you support the Holocaust Center, you support students from all across our region. Students like Cammie, who shared her experience in these words:? ? “In middle school, I visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, and my view of humanity was changed forever. From that moment on, I was fascinated by the events of the Holocaust and how humans could commit such atrocities. I wanted to find answers… Mostly, I wanted to create change in the world around me.”? ? Cammie was an intern at the Holocaust Center and is a member of the Student Leadership Board, a group of 7th to 12th graders dedicated to learning about the Holocaust and other genocides. ? When you donate for #GivingTuesday, you can help support thousands of students like Cammie that the Holocaust Center reaches every year. Can you help us reach our goal this Giving Tuesday?
