“…that I have tried to keep memory alive, that I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget we are guilty, we are accomplices.”
-Elie Wiesel
With the passage of a legislative mandate for Holocaust education across the state, the JCRC is extremely proud of what we have accomplished here in Arizona. Phoenix Holocaust Association, the Arizona Teaching the Holocaust Initiative, the JCRC and many other partners worked hard for this historic legislation to be passed. With it, Arizona becomes the 16th state to mandate Holocaust education in its schools.
The fight for memory is task that falls upon every generation.
