HMTC invites you to join us in commemorating Armenian Genocide Remembrance on Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 3PM.

From Spring 1915 to Fall 1916, more than one million Armenians died by means of deportation, execution, and starvation at the hands of the leaders of the Ottoman Empire, auxiliary troops, and even civilians. Despite long-standing denials of Turkish officials and the international community’s silence, US President Ronald Reagan (1981), Pope Francis (2015), the European Parliament (2015), the US Congress (2019), and President Biden (2021) recognized these events as a genocide.

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center is dedicated to educating students and the community about the atrocities of the Holocaust and the importance of tolerance and respect for all people. HMTC serves as a valuable resource for school programs, lectures, training, and other educational opportunities.
