About the Holocaust Center

The Holocaust was a unique historical event; the lessons we learn from it are universal. We are committed to education on the events of the Holocaust, commemoration of those who suffered and triumphed, and documentation of the stories of survivors, liberators and protectors. The mission of Holocaust Center of Greater Pittsburgh is to educate teachers and students; to commemorate the lives of victims including anyone traumatized by the events of 1933-1945; and to document those events through the collection of artifacts, videos and oral histories of survivors. Our programs and exhibitions heighten public awareness, honor survivors, and keep memories alive.
