Mission
The mission of the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University (HEFNU) is to advance Holocaust education at institutions of higher learning around the world. To achieve this mission, HEFNU aims to develop professors qualified to teach Holocaust courses, grow the number of colleges and universities that offer Holocaust courses, and thereby increase the number of students who study the Holocaust.
Advocacy Policy:
The Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University (HEFNU) advances university-level Holocaust research, scholarship, and instruction. Our educational and scholarly programs reflect these priorities. We promote the inclusion and increase of Holocaust courses, Holocaust Studies centers and programs, and Holocaust scholarship at institutions of higher learning. HEFNU is a non-partisan organization that refrains from statements on political issues and current events. In rare instances, HEFNU may respond to actions that threaten Holocaust education at institutions of higher learning or that constitute Holocaust distortion and denial.
