• The mission of the Holocaust Education Center (HEC) of the Delaware Valley is to learn from the past and educate for the future through the lessons of the Holocaust to reduce prejudice and to lessen hatred, bigotry and violence against all groups.

The HEC supports the following programs and events:

• Scholarships for teachers and students to study the Holocaust
• Annual, community wide Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance) Commemoration program

The HEC is a department of the Jewish Community Relations Council, an agency of the Jewish Federaton of Southern New Jersey. The HEC is self supported and all of its activities are funded through memberships, donations and special events. All members of the HEC are volunteers. Please access the appropriate site areas for more information about specific events and programs, the Goodwin Holocaust Museum, endowment funds, the Educational Program, committees and membership.

We seek the support of persons interested in perpetuating the lessons of the Holocaust to ensure it never happens again.
