Our mission is to engage, educate, and empower by remembering the Holocaust.
Opportunities

Holocaust Center Volunteer

From the Holocaust Survivors who tell their stories to groups and visitors from around the world, the Museum Shop personnel who share ways to continue to learn about the Holocaust with visitors, and of course the docents who educate visitors through the museum’s core exhibits, volunteers are essential to our mission of engaging, educating, and empowering by remembering the Holocaust. The HC has needs for library helpers, staff aides, front desk greeters, and more. Time spent volunteering at The HC can be used toward fulfilling service hours required by congregational and school programs.

About us

Founded in 1984, The Zekelman Holocaust Center (The HC) first opened its doors on the campus of the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield as the Holocaust Memorial Center and relocated to the current award-winning building in 2004. The HC houses not only our core museum exhibits, but an extensive research library, archives, and a gallery for special art and history exhibits. Each year, we reached more than 100,000 people through our teacher trainings, virtual museum experiences, virtual programs, and in-person visits to the museum. Today, not only is there a rise in antisemitism, there is a decline in living testimony as we are approaching a time when Holocaust survivors will no longer be with us. The Holocaust Center’s content focuses on Holocaust victims’ and survivors’ personal stories to help our visitors understand how the Holocaust could have happened.
