Teaching the Lessons of the Holocaust
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County is the pre-eminent Holocaust resource on Long Island, with a contemporary museum, and is one of the largest and most comprehensive education program providers in the region. Since 2007, nearly 210,000 students, teachers, employers and law enforcement personnel have participated in the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center’s education programs, including 155,000 students.
Under construction is the Claire Friedlander Education Institute that will accommodate four fully equipped classrooms with state-of–the-art audio-visual aids and cutting edge technical equipment for specialized video-conferencing programs and a wide variety of workshops for students, adults, law enforcement personnel and staff development for educators and other professionals.
With the Louis Posner Memorial Library, the Center offers over 7,000 volumes of Holocaust, genocide, multicultural, anti-bias and anti-bullying material for youth and adults, from Kindergarten through post-graduate researchers. It is the largest such collection on Long Island. Additional information is available online at www.hmtcli.org.
