The power of education and remembrance in combating hate

At the Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center in Phoenix, we are building more than a museum. We are creating a place where the lessons of history meet the moral crossroads of today. Our exhibitions and programs will invite visitors into a space that reveals the power of education and the necessity of remembrance to confront hate and inspire action. We believe remembrance must lead to responsibility — to speak out, to stand up, and work towards a world without antisemitism.

Hatred rarely begins with violence. It begins with ignorance, the absence of understanding about another person’s history, culture, or experience. Ignorance creates fertile ground for stereotypes, conspiracy theories, and fear. Left unchecked, it hardens into prejudice, and prejudice can erupt into discrimination, violence, and, at its most extreme, genocide. Education is our most powerful antidote.
