The Holocaust Resource Center (HRC) is a joint initiative of the University and the Holocaust Resource Foundation, a private philanthropic organization. Since 1982, the Center has created an extensive collection of academic, audio-visual, and instructional materials to strengthen and commemorate education about the Holocaust, other genocides, and issues of diversity and prejudice, including more than 200 interviews with New Jersey survivors and liberators. The Holocaust Resource Center partners with educators, community organizations and scholars to offer programming and disseminate information. It also sponsors an annual Holocaust Scholar Lecture Series that attracts distinguished speakers with national and international reputations.
The HRC manages a dual-credit course on Holocaust and Genocide studies, whereby high school seniors can earn college credits at a greatly reduced rate, and offers tuition-free graduate courses in Teaching the Holocaust and Teaching Prejudice Reduction to train educators to incorporate Holocaust lessons in their curricula. Located on the second floor of the Nancy Thompson Library, the HRC is home to Kean’s Council on Global Education and Citizenship (formerly Diversity Council), a consortium of more than sixty NJ member school districts and the Kean University College of Education, dedicated to the active pursuit of human dignity and understanding through diversity and multiculturalism.
