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. |
