The Ferencz Institute for Ethics, Human Rights and the Holocaust
Remember the Past. Protect the Future. ACT NOW.
We are rapidly approaching a time when there will be no Holocaust survivors alive to tell their stories. We must act now to preserve their legacy and ensure that “Never Again” is more than just a rallying cry.
Why The Ferencz Institute?
The lessons of the Holocaust transcend traditional boundaries. They are INTERGENERATIONAL, INTERFAITH, INTERPROFESSIONAL, and INTERNATIONAL. Holocaust education must be universally relevant and serve to promote justice, tolerance, equality and human dignity for all. Through our powerful programming, we ENGAGE, EDUCATE, and EMPOWER future leaders to become upstanders and active agents of social change. We give a voice to the generation before us who were silenced, and help the next generation find and amplify their voice.
Our Impact

Our Programs
Our signature programs are part of a comprehensive educational platform that reaches a diverse audience, ranging from health professionals and social activists to lifelong learners and changemakers of tomorrow.
1. International Fellowship Program
Students and/or professionals chosen from an international pool of applicants will have the opportunity to work closely with the Ferencz Institute's network of scholars for a two-year period. Upon completion of the fellowship, they will be expected to make a lasting contribution to the field through a publication or the development of a program or course at their home institution.
2. Emerging Scholars Program
Students at the undergraduate, graduate, or professional school level who are interested in studying ethics, human rights and the Holocaust will be provided financial assistance to alleviate costs associated with research and conference attendance. Emerging scholars will have access to the Ferencz Institute's extensive resources and be matched with mentors who will offer guidance and support.
3. Lecture Series
Contributions will fund annual lectures given on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and/or Yom Hashoah on topics of interest within the field of medicine, ethics and the Holocaust.
