We are proud to provide services for Holocaust survivors in our community and their families. In addition to providing services, we are committed to helping Holocaust education and partner with the Wagner College Holocaust Center on many programs.

The JCC’s Holocaust programming inspired Shira Stoll’s Emmy Award-winning series, “Where Life Leads You,” which can be found here: https://holocaust.silive.com

The JCC is proud to support the SIHC as they bring vital Holocaust education and exhibits to the SI Community. Join us as we share with you a display of Holocaust artwork and related artifacts.
