''The Holocaust Center of Northern California'' (HCNC) is a non-profit organization formed to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust never be forgotten. HCNC provides services and programs to fulfill its mission of education, research and remembrance.〔(Holocaust Center of Northern California )〕 In 2010, the Holocaust Center of Northern California's collections and programs were relocated to Jewish Family and Children's Services of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin, and Sonoma Counties to form the "JFCS Holocaust Center".〔("What’s old is new: Holocaust Center now part of JFCS" ) J Weekly, January 27, 2011〕 == History == The Holocaust Center of Northern California, formerly known as The Holocaust Library and Research Center of San Francisco, was established in 1977 in reaction to the opening of a Nazi bookstore in a neighborhood in San Francisco where a large population of Holocaust survivors lived. Enraged, several Holocaust survivors broke into the bookstore, and set fire to its inventory. Two individuals – Mr. Morris Weiss and his son Allan Weiss – were arrested.〔("Holocaust Center to open in new space" ) San Francisco Chronicle, March 11, 2005.〕 The Jewish Community Relations Council intervened on behalf of the Weisses who were released. A Committee of Remembrance was formed, composed of Holocaust survivors and refugees, who decided to initiate three projects: *An annual day of remembrance for Holocaust victims: The first Yom HaShoah commemoration was held in April 1978 *Establishment of a research library: The Holocaust Library and Research Center of San Francisco, opened in 1979. *A lasting memorial in San Francisco: “Holocaust,” dedicated in November 1984 in Lincoln Park, was created by the sculptor George Segal. The Holocaust Center of Northern California is in collaboration with the Austrian Holocaust Memorial Service. The Bay Area Holocaust Oral History Project merged with the HCNC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holocaust Center of Northern California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
