Activities & Resources
CHGS maintains an active calendar of events and outreach efforts. During a typical year the center is likely to be involved with the following activities.
- Conducting workshops on the Holocaust and genocides for K-12 teachers
- Hosting visiting scholars, writers and others who speak at public events on campus
- Providing intellectual and material resources for other universities in Minnesota and neighboring states
- Coordinating activities with other organizations, on and off campus, involving displaced local communities who have genocidal situations in their history, such as Native Americans, Cambodians, Sudanese, Rwandans, and Bosnians.
- Consulting on the creation of related documentary programming, such as the Emmy-nominated "Armenian Genocide: 90 Years Later," co-produced with TPT public television
- Presenting Holocaust and genocide-related art exhibitions, such as the ceramic work of survivor Daisy Brand at the Northern Clay Center in January 2006, and the paintings of survivor Fritz Hirschberger at the Katherine E. Nash Gallery in August 2006
- Maintaining a vast library on the Holocaust that includes books, original sources, videotapes, and lists of Holocaust survivors and children of survivors, all of which are available to visiting researchers
