        ZACHOR – WE WILL NEVER FORGET

        Our mission is to empower future generations in empathy, courage, and ethical decision-making
        in order to combat anti-Semitism, racism & all forms of prejudice.

         

        “By learning the stories of Holocaust survivors,
        we are inspired to see the world differently
        and stand up more strongly against prejudice.”
        – Jazmine Minner, Wagner College Class of 2017

         

        OUR VIRTUAL EXHIBIT ON THE HOLOCAUST:

        We are very pleased to invite you to visit our permanent virtual exhibit on the Holocaust.  Our exhibit includes timelines and discussions of  the major stages and events unfolding under the Nazi regime, from life in pre-war Europe to the Nazi policies of establishing ghettos and concentration camps. We particularly highlight courageous rescuers and resisters.  Maps, photographs and texts help to illustrate and explain the individual tragedies and larger destruction of European Jewry. Please be sure to visit the page on Staten Island survivors. The website features a special section targeted to young visitors, providing lessons for today and raising thought-provoking questions relevant to our own society. This online exhibit was written, designed and created by Prof. Laura Morowitz and Prof. Lori Weintrob.
