| GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: | The Holocaust Human Rights Center of Maine grew out of a seminar, "Teaching About the Nazi Holocaust in Maine Schools," held at Bowdoin College in 1984. The participants found the seminar to be a powerful and compelling commentary on the fragility of democracy. They resolved to carry on the work. Under the leadership of Gerda Haas, herself a survivor and author of a book on the Holocaust, they formed the Holocaust Human Rights Center of Maine.
Incorporated in 1985, the mission of the HHRC is to educate about the Holocaust, to advocate for human rights and dignity, and to celebrate diversity. The Center’s goal is to teach the lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust, about what can happen when basic human rights are destroyed. Through education, the Center works to reduce prejudice and to create an environment of tolerance, acceptance, and well-being among all people. |
