Preserving Memory. Protecting the Future.

The JFCS Holocaust Center is Northern California’s hub for Holocaust and genocide education—and a global leader in combating antisemitism and hate.

165,000 students, teachers, and community members learned about Jewish history, the Holocaust, and how to stand up to hate.

1,300,000 students will be reached by 2029 through teacher trainings by the JFCS-led California Teachers Collaborative for Holocaust and Genocide Education.

Building Northern California’s Only Holocaust Center

Demand for our programs grows every day, but we have outgrown our current space. Together, we are creating a stateof-the-art Holocaust Center—the only one of its kind in Northern California—to preserve history, instill pride in Jewish heritage, expand programming, and empower every child and teacher with the tools to resist hate.
