The Holocaust Center of Greater Pittsburgh is Western Pennsylvania's only
educational resource center on the Holocaust. Its mission is to educate teachers
and students; to commemorate the lives of victims, including anyone traumatized
by the events of 1933-1945; and to document those events through the collection
of artifacts, videos and oral histories of survivors.
The Holocaust Center of Greater Pittsburgh holds an oral history and video
collection of local survivors and liberators. It also has a collection of artifacts,
including letters, photographs, and other carefully preserved items from the
camps, ghettos, and journeys of displaced people.
