The Holocaust Education Resource Center (HERC) educates
students, teachers, and communities about the Holocaust as
both a genocide and a warning of the dangers of unchecked
hatred and antisemitism. By exploring the atrocities of the
Holocaust and the evolving manifestations of antisemitism,
we inspire future generations to challenge ignorance and
combat all forms of hate. As the leading organization providing resources in support of Wisconsin Act 30 mandating
education on the Holocaust and other genocides, HERC
offers a wide range of resources for k-12 educators, superintendents and administrators, families and communities,
including an innovative digital toolkit featuring over 100
lesson plans, professional development workshops, speakers
bureau, field trip opportunities, bar/bat mitzvah enrichment,
commemorations, special programs, and author talks.
