The Holocaust is now more than half a century in the past - but it is still very much with us, in the way it has affected the children and grandchildren of its victims and of others connected with one of the most horrific events in world history.

The Sinclair Holocaust Remembrance Committee was formed in 1987. Its purpose was:

• to encourage the study of the Holocaust
• to foster understanding between different cultures
• to work against racism and ethnic prejudice. 

Since its inception this committee annually brings quality speakers and programs to Sinclair to achieve its purpose.

See the Nazi Medicine link at left for information on a program coming up October 19, 2009.

At this time (September 2009) events for the spring of 2010 are not yet in place.  But the planned theme is "Resistance," and we hope to offer several programs revolving around the recent move Defiance.

We will also once again host:

Max May Memorial Holocaust Art Contest

Selected pieces from this contest, for students in grades 5-12, will be exhibited in the Sinclair Library during spring quarter 2010; dates to be announced here soon.
