Three honorees will be rewarded for advancing social justice with hard work and loyal, long-term service on Wednesday, Oct. 26, at the 21st testimonial dinner of the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide Education.

For today’s educators and advocates, it can be difficult to convey the true impact of the Holocaust to younger generations. The pure statistics – six million European Jews murdered, including 1.5 million children, between 1933 and 1945 – are so daunting that they can be almost impossible to grasp.

The Warsaw Ghetto, scene of horrendous atrocities but also a place where Jewish heroism took full expression in a valiant uprising, will be the focus of this year’s Yom Hashoa observance at the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide Education. 

The Center for Holocaust, Human Rights and Genocide Education (Chhange) at Brookdale will serve as the host to an opening reception for its new “Facing Racism” art exhibit on April 10 from noon to 2:30 p.m. inside the college’s Bankier Library Building at 765 Newman Springs Road in Lincroft.
