Farkas Center for the Study of the Holocaust in Catholic Schools

The Farkas center for the Study of the Holocaust in Catholic Schools exists to honor Holocaust survivors and to bring them together with todays students. We connect this difficult history to how we act locally and globally today so that the slogan, never again can become a reality for all peoples. We seek to preserve the history of the Holocaust for future generations. By integrating the use of survivor oral testimonies in educational settings, either in person or by means of primary and secondary resources, we educate both students and their instructors about social justice and moral courage. We strive to: honor survivors with community-based events which communicate respect and show appreciation for the vocation of those who share their stories with students and others. Create and provide vital and effective educational events that emphasize and dignify survivor testimony. Integrate Holocaust education into broad and varied curriculum and expand curriculum resources for local jr. and
