“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
~Anne Frank

We Need Your Donations. Each year the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center provides Educational Programs about the consequences of intolerance and hatred. During the 2010/2011 academic year, we reached 15,000+ students through close to 200 presentations for 125 schools and organizations. The demand for our programs has tripled in 3 short years. We will surpass this number in the 2011/2012 school year. In order to continue this upward trend in our Educational Programs, we need your help. Our museum depends on the generous support from private donations and exceptional volunteers. Your generous donation during our current annual membership drive will help us expand our Holocaust education programs and impact generations to come.
