Ken Gluck with the Tennessee Holocaust Commission will be here Tuesday, May 9 to speak with our Discovery Park members and guests.

The mission of the Tennessee Holocaust Commission is to educate Tennesseans about the history of the Holocaust, seeking to remind citizens that prejudice, hatred and violence, as manifested in the Holocaust and other genocides, lead to the destruction of a humane society.

The Tennessee Holocaust Commission, now one of the most celebrated organizations of its kind in the nation, provides a variety of educational services and opportunities. These frequently include the creation and implementation of resources, workshops, conferences, exhibits, learning and in-service seminars, as well as publications for the educational and general community. Each year, the commission supports annual Day of Remembrance commemorations across the state, including an observance on the Capitol grounds. It has facilitated primary educator learning opportunities for study in Washington D.C. and Europe. Furthermore, it is committed to continuing the growth of Holocaust education throughout the state of Tennessee.
