The Braun Holocaust Institute's programs for educators, students, community leaders, and families explore the enduring impact of the Holocaust and apply its lessons to contemporary issues of prejudice and moral decision making. Through these efforts, the Institute hopes to ensure that the Holocaust - and the brutality that humankind inflicted upon itself - is never forgotten.
