WHAT WE DO
The Holocaust Memorial Tolerance Center (HMTC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization, dedicated to educating students and the community about the atrocities of the Holocaust and the importance of tolerance and respect for all people. Our center serves as a valuable resource for school programs, lectures, training, and other educational opportunities.
Our tours provide a powerful and emotional experience, allowing visitors to learn about the devastating impact of the Holocaust and the lessons that can be learned from it. The exhibit features seven galleries that take you on a journey through history, from life before the Holocaust to its aftermath and the valuable lessons we can learn from it. Each gallery is thoughtfully designed to provide an immersive experience, with artifacts, photographs, and documents that bring the stories of those affected by the Holocaust to life. Our knowledgeable staff is always on hand to answer any questions and provide additional insight into the exhibits.
We also offer a variety of educational programs for students of all ages, teachers, nurses, and police cadets, including age-appropriate workshops and presentations.
We believe that by learning about the Holocaust, we can work towards creating a better world, one that is free from hate and prejudice. That's why we are committed to providing high-quality educational resources and promoting a message of tolerance and acceptance.
Visit HMTC today and discover the history of the Holocaust for yourself. Together, we can create a more tolerant society.
OUR MISSION
The Mission of the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County is to teach the history of the Holocaust and its lessons through education and community outreach. We teach about the dangers of antisemitism, racism, bullying, and all manifestations of intolerance. We promote resistance to prejudice and advocate respect for every human being.
At HMTC, we believe that every individual deserves to live without fear of hate or discrimination. That's why we are committed to fighting hate in all its forms, whether it's directed towards the Jewish community or any other marginalized group. We stand with those who have been targeted and we vow to use our platform to promote understanding, tolerance, and acceptance. Join us in this fight against hate and help us create a more inclusive and compassionate world for all.
