The BMF’s Vital & Relevant Work

The lessons of the Holocaust are more relevant now than ever. The VHEC is devoted to Holocaust-based anti-racism education, and promotes human rights, social justice and genocide awareness through education and remembrance of the Holocaust. Your support is critical to these efforts and will have a direct impact on educating future generations.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Your individual gift helps support our world-class and unique exhibitions, education and public programming. It also allows us to develop and create new programs and resources for educators.

Who Benefits from your Support

Each year, tens of thousands of young British Columbians become witnesses themselves by hearing the first-hand accounts of survivors. With an increase in the number of school districts we serve, we are now reaching more students than ever before.

Research & Scholarship

While built and sustained for and by British Columbians, the Centre is known by those in Holocaust scholarship, research, education and remembrance around the world as a source of leading-edge initiatives.

The Impact of your Gift

For more than twenty-five years we have provided educators, students and the broader public opportunities to engage with the history of the Holocaust and the ongoing relevance of this past. Holocaust education  is a foundation for envisioning a world free of antisemitism, racism and all forms of discrimination. The VHEC introduces generations of students to the lessons of history and inspires them to value social justice and human rights.

None of this would be possible without you – those who recognize the importance of our work. More funding is needed to fulfill our mandate and meet the growing demand for our programs. That is why we are asking you to please consider making a tax-deductible gift and be part of ensuring the VHEC’s ongoing dedication to education and remembrance of the Holocaust.
