What We Do

Every year, the VHEC’s Holocaust education programs reach British Columbia classrooms, teachers and more than 25,000 students. These programs:

Educate the Next Generation

We challenge youth to become committed and responsible global citizens, alert to discrimination, racism and genocide in today’s world.

Engage Educators

We strengthen the abilities of educators to teach this complicated history in age-appropriate ways.

Create More Witnesses

We provide students the opportunity to meet and hear survivors of the Holocaust, and to become witnesses to the eyewitnesses.

Work Toward a Better Future

We introduce generations of students to the lessons of history and inspire them to value social justice and human rights. Holocaust education and remembrance are foundations for envisioning a world free of antisemitism, racism and all forms of discrimination.
