Miles Lerman Center for the Study of Jewish Resistance
The Miles Lerman Center for the Study of Jewish Resistance is an integral part of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies and embodies the Museum’s special commitment to study Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Inaugurated in 1995, the Lerman Center promotes scholarly interest in this aspect of Holocaust studies and serves as a venue for disseminating new research findings on the subject to scholars, researchers and others.

"We must learn from the past as we address the present and the future ... We, the eyewitnesses of the horrors of the past, must remind and warn those around us ... that hatred consumes not only its intended victims but its passive bystanders as well. In this way, the lessons of the Holocaust will be applied once again as we seek to create a better and a saner tomorrow."
