The Zachor Foundation is dedicated to Genocide Prevention through educating our youth and people of all ages.

A Little History

How do you actively work towards genocide prevention?

Ben Lesser, a Holocaust survivor of several Ghettos and concentration camps that included Auschwitz and Buchenwald, has dedicated his life to preserving the memory of The Holocaust. He believes that through teaching tolerance and acceptance we can prevent events like the Holocaust from ever taking place again.

Ben considers it his obligation to help the world remember what happened in the 1930s and 40s through education and a moral focus on living a life that matters.

The ZACHOR Holocaust Foundation has created educational materials in many forms to help teach of the events that happened and what we can do to prevent them.

The ZACHOR website has a learning center featuring:

• Survivor’s Testimonials
• An Expressive Circle where artists of all ages share their thoughts and feelings about the Holocaust
• A Holocaust Timetable
• Ben’s AI StoryFile
• ZACHOR Holocaust Curriculum (ZHC)

The ZACHOR Holocaust Curriculum

Ben recently created an online course meant to help educator teach the events that happened during World War 2.

Learn about the Eastern European section of World War II with the ZHC free interactive teaching tool. Lesson plans include:

• The Holocaust: It All Started with Hate

People think the Holocaust could never happen again, but to paraphrase Mark Twain, history often rhymes. ZACHOR is dedicated to awakening minds to genocide prevention so that rhyme will never again be heard.
