Building for Generations to Come

While much has been accomplished in a very few years, even more remains to be done to make our goals for Holocaust education in Southern California a reality.

Plans to broaden Holocaust education include further development within the minor in Holocaust studies; the expansion of our Holocaust Writing Contest to reach even more schools, students, and teachers, and the initiation of internships and travel/study abroad opportunities for Chapman students.

Forging Links in the Chain of Remembrance

We hope you choose to become partners in Holocaust education with Chapman University.  Wehteher you attend our lectures and events, urge your child;s school to participate in the annual Holocaust Art and Writing Contest, send a financial gift , or simply discuss the important lessons of the Holocaust within your own family, you are contributing to Holocaust education.

By choosing to  act - to become involved - you become a link in the chain of remembrance and a witness to the future.

Barry and Phyllis Rodgers

"We are most interested in Holocaust education because of the light this study offers humanity at large.  We need to understand why some people find it necessary to hate and destroy others who are different... History has shown that far too many times this blind and unfounded hate leads to genocide."

Ralph and Sue Stern

"In choosing Chapman University, we were were impressed both by the university's commitment to teaching its own students about the Holocaust and by its outreach to Orange County middle and high schools.  If the words 'never again' are to become a reality, it will be because of the lessons leared from this tragic event."
