Our goal is to become an international resource centre for scholars, teachers, students and the general public, through the creation and accessibility of locally relevant material in English, Chinese and other regional languages. HKHTC actively promotes conferences, workshops, exhibits and remembrance events that use the lessons of history to prevent anti-Semitism, discrimination and genocide, as a way to advance tolerance and understanding among people, in order to make a positive contribution to our society and future generations. Holocaust and Tolerance Centre was founded in 2011. Since its inception, HKHTC representatives have visited more than 50 Local and International schools in Hong Kong. This includes screenings of Holocaust related films and visits with Holocaust survivors who have shared their experiences with pupils. In addition, our Board members have been guest speakers at special assemblies and we have assisted teachers with curriculum-related enquiries. HKHTC has also held public exhibitions, organised lectures and hosted visiting academics who have run Holocaust themed seminars. Other activities to date include running annual commemorative events for the United Nations Holocaust Memorial Day and Yom HaShoah. We link with major Holocaust education and survivor organizations globally.
