Established in 1983, it was one of the first research archives devoted to the Holocaust on the East Coast. Our facilities include a permanent exhibition about the Holocaust as well as a rotating gallery space, and in 2011 we were the recipients of a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).Our current exhibit, Survivance and Sovereignty on Turtle Island: Engaging with Contemporary Native American Art, is the first time 16 Native American and Indigenous artists are showcasing their works about mass atrocities and genocide at a US Holocaust center (on view through May 22, 2020). We offer approximately twenty public programs and special events for Holocaust survivors, as well as host over 150+ tours reaching over 2,000 students and community members annually." } ] } ] ```
