OUR PUBLIC VALUE STATEMENT
Holocaust Museum Houston builds a more humane society by promoting responsible individual behavior, cultivating civility, and pursuing social justice.
OUR MISSION
Holocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors’ legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides, we teach the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy.
OUR VISION
We envision a society that transforms ignorance into respect for human life, that remembers the Holocaust, and affirms an individual’s responsibility for the collective actions of society.
HMH is recognized across the Holocaust education world as an innovator and an institution who reveres the memories that shape our work. With this legacy, HMH’s Boniuk Center for the Future of Holocaust, Human Rights and Genocide Studies will create new ground using pioneering education initiatives.
