The mission of the Rhode Island Holocaust and Genocide Education Commission is to empower educators and their school communities to integrate learning about the Holocaust and other genocides as integral parts of their school cultures and studies. This includes providing resources and professional development for teachers to enable them to incorporate these topics into their curricula.

This website is designed to help educators easily find resources and professional development opportunities. It will also share information about community events related to furthering awareness of the Holocaust and other genocides.
