With your membership, we are able to continue our documentation and educational outreach efforts such as the:

• Videotaping of courageous eyewitness accounts of Survivors, their Liberators, and Rescuers.
  
  
• Transcription of these invaluable testimonies that will be cataloged and indexed in our reference and research library.
  
  
• Collection of artifacts, documents, photographs, and other pertinent memorabilia to be readied for display in the first South Florida Holocaust Museum.
  
  
• Copyright process for each of our over 2,200 oral histories.

• Arduous task of converting our manual oral history files into a custom database application, which will allow us to make our Survivor history files readily accessible to scholars, researchers, and educators.

• Development of our reference and research library, which will feature books, films, and oral histories.

• Mini-recording studio, which provides the Center the convenient opportunity to be more flexible and efficient with the scheduling of Survivor interviews.

• Painstaking process of identifying specific excerpts within the Center’s over 6,000 hours of eyewitness testimonies – needed to tell the story of the Holocaust within the walls of the first South Florida Holocaust Museum.

• Extremely popular Student Awareness Day prejudice reduction programs offered to Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties' students and educators.

• University-accredited volunteer interviewer training course that is open to the public. The course is 54 hours of education and training taught by Holocaust scholars, historians, and educators, with the participation of Survivors, Liberators, and Rescuers.

• Speakers’ Bureau that offers presentations for the community lecture series, seminars, schools, civic organizations, churches, and synagogues. The available speakers include Survivors, Child Survivors, and educators. Over the years, this service (free for schools) has brought the lessons of the Holocaust to hundreds of thousands of South Floridians.

• Annual Student Visual Arts and Writing Contest, which is a competition for elementary school, middle school, high school, and college and university students. The overall winner is awarded a visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and attends the Days of Remembrance ceremony held in the Rotunda of the Capitol Building.

• Center’s new home, the South Florida Holocaust Museum, which will house all these efforts and programs.

By signing on to become a member today, you would be involved in the most exciting time in the Center’s history – a time where we are moving ahead with the opening of the first South Florida Museum, in Hollywood, Florida and endorsing a Legacy of Remembrance for this and future generations.
