Remembering the Past

Background of the Holocaust Resource Foundation

The HRF was established in 1982 to foster and reinforce ongoing awareness of the Holocaust among students, teachers and community members. From our inception, the Foundation’s founders recognized education as the integral driving force behind the organization.

Today, the HRF continues to honor their founders by promoting messages of respect, understanding and empowerment. We fulfill our educational mandate in three ways: collections, commemorative events, and teacher training. 

Our programs and resources align with the New Jersey State Mandate on Holocaust Education. Through our various initiatives, we seek to learn from the past in order to create a better future.
