Holocaust Center of Northern California, Holocaust education center in Financial District, San Francisco, US
The Holocaust Center of Northern California is an education organization in San Francisco focused on preserving and sharing Holocaust history and survivor accounts. It holds a substantial library with books, recorded testimonies, photographs, and historical documents that researchers and visitors can explore.
The center was founded in 1977 in response to community protests against a Nazi bookstore operating in San Francisco at that time. Holocaust survivors and refugees came together to establish this organization as a place to preserve and teach about the Holocaust.
The center coordinates with 14 California institutions to develop educational programs about Holocaust history and genocide prevention for schools and communities.
Visitors can access the Tauber Library to research primary sources, photographs, artifacts, and government documents for learning and study purposes. The facility welcomes individuals, school groups, and researchers interested in exploring Holocaust history and documentation.
The organization runs a speakers bureau that connects Holocaust survivors with audiences so they can share their personal experiences and testimonies directly. These face-to-face encounters allow visitors to hear history from those who lived through it and engage with firsthand accounts.
