Mission Statement

The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Central Florida is a not-for-profit, interfaith, interdenominational organization. Its mission is to provide educational and cultural experiences - to examine the past in order to learn from it and to help people become aware of and alert to present dangers to our freedoms, our human rights and our lives by learning the lessons of the Holocaust.

The vision of a just community in a diverse, multi-cultural setting engaged in combating the dark forces of prejudice and anti-Semitism is the focus of our work, which we undertake for the benefit of present and future generations. Thus, "memory is transformed into study and study into memory" (Elie Wiesel) in hopes that oppression and genocide will be combated and shall never happen again to any minority group.

In April 1994, the Florida Legislature enacted a mandate requiring Holocaust education in public schools. The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center is an appointed member of the Florida Education Commissioner's Task Force on Holocaust Education and is charged with implementation of this mandate in Central Florida and beyond. All of the Holocaust Center's activities are designed with the aforementioned goals in mind.
