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.

We help survivors share their stories now because soon there will be none left to share.
We need to continue to remind our students that history can repeat itself. We must recognize the signs of hate and learn how to stand up to them.
