Holocaust Center for Humanity

Artifact Preservation: Powered by you. Shared with purpose. 

The Holocaust Center for Humanity is a museum and educational center preserving Holocaust history and emphasizing local stories. Through exhibits, artifacts, programs, and partnerships across the Pacific Northwest, we work to inspire people of all ages to confront hate, promote human dignity, and take action.

During GiveBig, we are raising money to support our artifact preservation efforts. 

Each of our over 10,000 artifacts hold a story. For students, artifacts create a tangible connection to history, offering a deeper understanding of the lived experiences during the Holocaust.

Artifacts are among our most engaging educational resources. They bring history to life and help students see how courage, empathy, and action can shape a better world. Thanks to over 400 generous artifact donors, we have been able to share these remarkable pieces of history with students across Washington.

Yet many fragile artifacts are at risk of being lost without proper preservation and care. 

Your support during GiveBig ensures these powerful stories remain accessible to students and continue to educate and inspire. By protecting local Holocaust history, you keep these stories alive and help guide future generations toward a more compassionate world.

Give now and help history live on.

“At any given point, the exhibits from each time period of the war sparked questions and a desire to seek more information in my students. I've already had students come up to me and ask if they could participate in ways that will help be a voice against hate in our society." 

— Middle School Teacher

"The artifacts like the pictures and the passports helped me really understand the personal life of all these people and it helped me realize that every single person in the Holocaust had a personal life and they weren't just numbers."
