JOIN US THIS WEDNESDAY FOR OUR PROGRAM AND SPEAKER: BARBARA GOLDSTEIN-THE HOLOCAUST.
Mrs. Goldstein is dedicated to advocacy and education because her parents are Holocaust Survivors. She transplanted from New York City, NY to Tallahassee, FL in the late 1980’s. Mrs. Goldstein has kept her heritage alive and made Holocaust education her life’s mission. As co-founder and co-chair of the Tallahassee Holocaust Education program sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Women (2006), Mrs. Goldstein was able to establish partnerships in our Leon County School District. This resulted in the establishment of The Holocaust Education Resource Council. Mrs. Goldstein was awarded the Woman of Achievement by the Congregation Shomrei Torah Sisterhood (2008).
Her voice in Holocaust education and art history in the classrooms of Florida school children is how Mrs. Goldstein became one of 25 Women to Know by the Tallahassee Democrat (2014). Mrs. Goldstein has served as Chair to the Department of Education Commissioners’ Task Force on Holocaust Education (2019). Mrs. Goldstein’s outreach continues through her life’s work as the Executive Director of the Holocaust Education Resource Council at Tallahassee Community College. HERC is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide guidance and support for students, teachers, and the community about Holocaust education and to teach tolerance.

Holocaust survivors are real. Holocaust denial is real.
Decisions such as this only further cement antisemitic ideologies, and on Holocaust Rememberance day no less.
This is the polar opposite of Rememberance. This is erasure.

A Tennessee school district has voted to ban the Holocaust graphic novel 'Maus' The 10-member McMinn County School Board voted unanimously earlier this month to remove the book over foul language and an image of a n**e woman.
Who was Anne Frank? Why her legacy is still fought over today Her famous diary offered a glimpse into life in hiding from N**i persecution. Today, historians continue to investigate who betrayed her-and debate how to protect the Jewish teen's memory.
It is vital that new generations take up the charge to combat Holocaust denial. We applaud youth like this for taking advantage of their platform to ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten.

A very good book that we suggest!
"The title of Rosemary Sullivan’s important new book, “The Betrayal of Anne Frank,” resounds far beyond its primary meaning. Sullivan is chronicling the investigation of a cold case, the unsolved mystery of who alerted authorities in the summer of 1944 to the hiding place of Frank, her family and four other Jewish people, above a pectin and spice warehouse in N**i-occupied Amsterdam, resulting in their arrest and deportation to concentration camps..."
