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.
