Committed to Education

The Fish Center is committed to what must be the foundation of Holocaust education: the focus on the Jewish perspective and experiences: the systematic destruction of Jews, Jewish communities, and Jewish culture, and the actions of the Jews as they responded and resisted. Only through this lens will the study of the Holocaust avoid universalization, distortion, and trivialization.

The Center

The Emil A. and Jenny Fish Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies strives to build a cadre of professionals and lay leaders who are committed to Holocaust Education and Remembrance, and ready to meet the challenges that the field is facing. As survivors pass away and awareness of the subject in public memory fades, it is the responsibility of the next generations to explore, research and teach the history of the Holocaust and its lessons, confront Holocaust deniers and distorters, and combat antisemitism both in the U.S. and globally.
