The Center for Holocaust Studies at Brookdale Community College began over 25 years
ago when professors Dr. Seymour Siegler and Jack Needle ran a lunch-time professional
development program about the Holocaust in conjunction with the NBC miniseries Holocaust.
The programs were successful, and in May 1979, the first Center for Holocaust Studies
in the state of New Jersey opened. It was a bookcase and file cabinet in a corner
of the College's library.
The Center has grown since its founding. We offer many programs and services throughout
the year to students, teachers, the Brookdale Community, and to the public.
- Outstanding speakers come to the campus for our programs.
- Scholarships for teachers to study the Holocaust and our own Teacher Training
Institute
- The Living Library program
- A Film Series and a Book Club
- A Speakers' Bureau
- Many curriculum support materials and programs for teachers
- Our annual Luna Kaufman Writing and Art Contest for students
- Programs for students that give them an active role in prejudice reduction
- Training for law enforcement officers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
- Education as part of the sentencing package for juvenile bias crime offenders
The development of the Center's capacity to address human rights and civil rights issues
has virtually no bounds. Center programs have addressed Armenia, America, the Balkans,
Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, Northern Ireland, the Middle East and East Timor.

OUR MISSION
The mission of the Center for Holocaust Studies at Brookdale Community College is to be a resource for: education about historical issues of the holocaust and genocide; elimination of racism, antisemitism and all forms of prejudice that damage our society; and development of outstanding creative programs and activities regarding these crucial human issues.
WHAT'S NEW AT THE CENTER?
The Center's book,To Tomorrow's Children, Words of Survivors, is published.
At the Center for Holocaust Studies at Brookdale Community College, we are privileged to have a group of Holocaust survivors who are dedicated to our mission of teaching about the Holocaust and working to eliminate hate in all its forms. Each year, thousands of students listen as these survivors share their stories.
Unfortunately, time marches on and we are faced with the difficult reality that future generations will not be able to meet Holocaust survivors and hear their stories firsthand. We feel the need to insure that these invaluable lessons are not lost with the passing of this generation. Hence the idea to preserve forever the words of these survivors for Tomorrow's Children.
Holocaust survivors, those who have worked closely with the Center, were asked to provide a 500-word entry - not their entire story -- but an experience, a memory, a focal point of their Holocaust lives, accompanied by their message To Tomorrow's Children, a legacy they wish to be remembered and taught.
These photographs and stories will soon become part of a permanent exhibit to be housed in the Center for Holocaust Studies, and used as a traveling exhibit for schools. These survivors and their stories will thus remain the foundation for the study of the Holocaust. Each story will be the basis of a lesson plan that will have the survivor at its core, using his or her particular experience as the focus of study.
RESOURCES
We have a wide variety of resources available to help you at the Center. Our library offers books that include both pedagogy and subject information. Our video collection contains hundreds of videos. The Center also has a resource file and numerous curriculum guides, as well as a curriculum trunk for loan to schools designed for grades K-4.
We offer programs throughout the year that are geared towards teachers. We also offer programs designed for your students.
You can arrange a visit to your class from a Holocaust survivor through our speakers' bureau. We can also help arrange school assembly programs: Act One Productions' Moral Courage: A Way of Life and Living Voices' Through the Eyes of a Friend. The Center will provide some financial support for schools booking these assembly programs.
We offer programs for faculty meetings and in-service programs as well. For K-6 teachers, we offer It's OK to be Different; for teachers of grades 7-12, we offer a Voices and Viewsworkshop on a new Holocaust history curriculum. |
