The New Holocaust Memorial Social Action Site at the University of Denver
Honoring lives lost in the Shoah, we transform memory into social consciousness and action at a space dedicated to learning, intercultural dialogue and social justice initiatives.
Our vision is linked to the Hebrew expression, 'Hineni': "Here I am," a post-Holocaust ethical teaching about the infinite responsibility that each one of us has for the other.
In this spirit, the site calls us to immediate action.
