Vision and Mission of the North Carolina Holocaust Foundation
The vision of the North Carolina Holocaust Foundation is to ensure the permanence of Holocaust memory, understanding, and relevance by teaching the values of diversity, democracy, pluralism, and inclusion to the community.
The North Carolina Holocaust Foundation remains focused squarely on antisemitism and the systematic genocide of Europe’s Jews while sounding a warning about the dangers of dehumanization, injustice, and the moral cost of being a bystander.
Our mission is to educate the community and public school teachers and students about the facts and the lessons learned from the Holocaust, to educate against antisemitism, pro-Nazi sentiment, racism, and bigotry in North Carolina communities and in public schools, and to confront antisemitism and the misconceptions and ignorance about the Holocaust, Jews, and Judaism.
The North Carolina Holocaust Foundation is dedicated to preserving the memory of Holocaust victims and survivors while educating current and future generations about the dangers of unchecked hatred and prejudice. This educational mission transcends political boundaries and serves all North Carolina students regardless of their families’ political affiliations. We educate students and adults alike on the lessons that the Holocaust teaches us.
Through our educational resources, curriculum, programs, exhibits, plays, speakers, webinars, books, and workshops, we inspire future generations to help build a world anchored in justice and responsibility. The importance of supporting and expanding Holocaust education cannot be overstated. As incidents of antisemitism rise, we must foster understanding and tolerance through education. By learning about the Holocaust, students gain historical knowledge and develop an understanding of the dangers of hatred and bigotry.
We urge you to consider donating to the North Carolina Holocaust Foundation. Enhancing our educational efforts will help build a more informed, compassionate, and resilient society. Your support of the North Carolina Holocaust Foundation will be an investment in the future of our children and the values we hold dear.

Whenever we ask a survivor or liberator what we can do to honor them, they all say, “Teach the children–NEVER AGAIN!”
