The mission of the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center is to teach the history of the Holocaust, in order to promote human dignity, combat antisemitism, and confront all forms of hate.
Remembering the past to build a better future.
The Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center uses the lessons of the Holocaust to inspire a more compassionate and informed world. Through education and remembrance, we combat antisemitism and all forms of hate, empowering students and community members to stand up for human dignity and respect. Join us in transforming history into action.
Our Public Statements
At the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center, we stand firmly against antisemitism, hatred, and injustice. Remembrance must be joined with action, and we are committed to honoring the victims, supporting survivors, and standing in solidarity with communities facing hatred and violence.
SBHEC Celebrates its 36th Anniversary
On September 12, 2024, SBHEC celebrated its 36th Anniversary with “Remembrance & Creativity,” honoring Sandra and the late Richard Bornstein. The evening at Temple Beth-El featured the Terezin Music Foundation Ensemble, led by violist Mark Ludwig, performing works composed in the Terezin camp, alongside a live painting by Boston artist Jim Shantz.
Our Gallery
Our photo gallery captures moments from across SBHEC’s community: survivors visiting schools, public lectures, Yom HaShoah commemorations, gatherings at the Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial, the annual Arts & Writing Contest, and our Leadership Institute for Teens (LIFT). Together, these snapshots reflect the people, stories, and connections at the heart of our work.
