Center of Excellence

The Holocaust Resource Center at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey is pleased to announce the designation of Center of Excellence by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous. The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous supports those who rescued Jews during the Holocaust and preserves their legacy through education.

The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous sponsors a national education program dedicated to the Holocaust. This program offers an intensive academic seminar that educates teachers about the history of the Holocaust and focuses on rescue. Every summer at Columbia University the 15 Holocaust Resource Centers from the United States that are designated Centers of Excellence have the opportunity to nominate two teachers to attend the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous Summer Institute.

For the past nine summers, Stockton's Holocaust Resource Center has been cited as a Center of Excellence (See Honorable Menschen, Page 12) and has sent a total of 18 local educators to this fully funded prestigious program. This summer the two local educators were Abby Bender, Atlantic City High School teacher, and Lydia Sneed, Oakcrest High School teacher. (See photo on Page 9)
