About the Holocaust Awareness Institute

Housed within the University of Denver’s Center for Judaic Studies, the Holocaust Awareness Institute was established in 1983 and is the leading institution in the region for the promotion of education about the Holocaust, serving both the academic and larger community. The HAI provides an academically oriented and intellectually stimulating perspective on the events surrounding the Holocaust through ongoing teacher training programs, a Speakers Bureau, Tolerance Trunks, lectures and symposia, community collaborations and coordination of Holocaust Awareness Week activities throughout the community.

The Institute works closely with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington, D.C., and is a member of the Association of Holocaust Organizations (AHO) nationwide.

The Holocaust Awareness Institute of the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver is supported by donations, membership and grants.
