Holocaust Resource Center
The Holocaust Resource Center (HRC) is a joint initiative of the University and the Holocaust Resource Foundation, a private philanthropic organization. Since 1982, the Center has created an extensive collection of academic, audio-visual, and instructional materials to strengthen and commemorate education about the Holocaust, other genocides, and issues of diversity and prejudice, including over 200 interviews with New Jersey survivors and liberators. The Holocaust Resource Center partners with educators, community organizations and scholars to offer programming and disseminate information. It also sponsors a Holocaust lecture series that attracts distinguished speakers with national and international reputations.
The HRC offers free graduate courses to train educators to incorporate Holocaust lessons in their curricula. Located on the second floor of the Nancy Thompson Library, the HRC is home to Kean’s Diversity Council, a partnership of member school districts and the Kean University College of Education, dedicated to the active pursuit of human dignity and understanding through diversity and multiculturalism.
