The Birmingham Holocaust Education Center (BHEC) seeks to educate the people of Alabama about the history of the Holocaust so that new generations will apply the lessons of the Holocaust to the construction of a more just, humane, and tolerant future. By preserving and sharing the stories of local Holocaust survivors and commemorating the events of the Holocaust and the lives of those who perished, the BHEC seeks to promote a moral and ethical response to prejudice, hatred, and indifference for the benefit of all humanity.

Birmingham Holocaust Education Center

Established in 2002, the BHEC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to Holocaust remembrance and education throughout the state of Alabama. The work of the BHEC is inspired by Alabama’s Holocaust survivors, whose presence in our community makes us mindful of the injustices in their past. The BHEC is committed to preserving their memories and continuing their legacy.
