The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh connects the horrors of the Holocaust and antisemitism with injustices of today. Through education, the Holocaust Center seeks to address these injustices and empower individuals to build a more civil and humane society.

Offerings include: exhibits in our public gallery, an extensive library and archive, engaging cultural events, internationally renowned speakers, and free and affordable resources for teachers.

Please note that our physical space is currently closed to the public. The safety of everyone that we work with is our top priority, and we are especially sensitive to our vulnerable survivor population. We appreciate your understanding, and encourage you to continue to participate in our robust schedule of online events. Our most recent exhibit is available online in digital format. We have also put together a page of free digital resources from across the Internet. We will continue to share updates on our website and social media when they become available.

Our facility and programs are accessible to people with disabilities. To make arrangements for your visit, please email our administrative coordinator at csahovey@hcpgh.org

Please contact our Education Outreach Associate, Emily Bernstein, with questions at ebernstein@hcpgh.org.

The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is proud to be designated a Holocaust Center of Excellence by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous.
