The Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) at Queensborough Community College at the City University of New York (CUNY) in Bayside, Queens was established in 1983 as one of the first Holocaust resource archives on the East coast, and our mission is to use the lessons of the Holocaust to educate current and future generations about the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping. Our building—the only one of its kind within CUNY—includes a permanent exhibition telling the story of the Holocaust in Germany, an additional gallery space for rotating exhibits, as well as a specialized library. The KHC hosts a range of programs about Holocaust memory and its ongoing impact across, as well as relevancy to, societies around the world through annual commemorations, special events, student-focused initiatives, our National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) colloquia series led by QCC faculty, and lectures about our originally researched exhibitions.
