The Holocaust and Genocide Center sponsors speakers, workshops, conferences and has a library special collection

The Holocaust and Genocide Center at Bristol Community College (Bristol) originated from a need to memorialize the atrocities committed against the people of Jewish descent and others by the Hitler/Nazi regime during World War II. Our history:

A variety of faith communities have worked to sponsor events dealing with the Holocaust in the southeastern Massachusetts area, many under the auspices of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Bedford’s Holocaust Education and Memorial Committee. In addition for the past 18 years, Bristol has offered a course entitled: Remembering the Holocaust in Literature and History. To augment both of these projects, the Holocaust and Genocide Center found its home at Bristol. The Bristol Holocaust and Genocide Center sponsors speakers, workshops, conferences related to Holocaust and genocide education and awareness. In addition, the Bristol library hosts a special collection of Holocaust and genocide related materials for use by the Bristol community and general public. The Bristol Holocaust Center, now in its 8th year, provides historical information, educational experiences, and multimedia resources to communicate the suffering, pain and death of innocent millions who were impacted by the Holocaust and other genocides.

1.5 million children perished during the Holocaust. 1.5 million buttons have been collected, each to represent one child.
Here is a sneak peek of the Holocaust memorial being installed on our campus over the summer. The committee has worked on this for 7 years and artist Zach Horn is nearly finished. While it will be complete in the fall we are planning an amazing ceremony in the Spring to unveil it and welcome the public come celebrate this amazing memorial. Stay tuned.

Hi Everyone:
Yesterday the Center spent some time at the Student Resource Fair in G Building. We had free books, snacks and drinks, cards and envelopes to make Passover and positivity notes and lists of our upcoming programs, as well as a new info sheet I put together for students. I was happy we had a lot of visitors and most let me take pictures! Here are a few. The free books were a hit!

As we recover from the recent storm, many are struggling due to delayed cleanup. Let's spread hope and kindness by checking in on neighbors, especially the elderly and anyone else who may need additional help. Our Center and its committees and subcommittees send positive thoughts, prayers, and well wishes to everyone impacted.
