JCRC partners with the greater Boston Jewish community to promote Holocaust awareness and education.

In association with the New England Holocaust Memorial, JCRC is committed to a high level of programming, education, and survivor relationships. This partnership creates a wide variety of educational opportunities for people of all ages. The Memorial is an important resource for individuals, teachers, and groups looking to study the Holocaust, genocide awareness, bullying and other issues of discrimination, hatred and intolerance.

We offer tours at no charge led by Holocaust survivors and educators. These tours can be individualized to fit your group size, to work with your curricular goals, and to accomodate individuals of all learning levels. To learn more or to schedule a tour, click here.

JCRC hosts many events throughout the year. Recent highlights are:

United Nations International Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Holocaust
Re-dedication of the Holocaust Memorial at the Boston Archdiocese
First Annual Righteous Among Nations Award given (posthumously) to Pope John Paul II
