Holocaust Education & Remembrance
The goals of the JCRC's Holocaust Education & Remembrance programs are to raise awareness of the dangers of prejudice, hatred, and violence, and provide relevant resources and opportunities to reinforce this knowledge and awareness. We also organize the Twin Cities Annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration.
