What is the HGHRC?
The Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Center (HGHRC) is a special
collection of materials housed in the LeRoy V. Good Library at Monroe
Community College. Originally begun as a private collection, the
materials were for the use of the Holocaust,
Genocide, and Human Rights Project. In 1998 the collection was
moved to the third floor of the library, and the HGHRC was born.
In the beginning, the collection was devoted to the study of specific
instances of historical genocide, particularly the Holocaust of the
20th century, as well as the theories and history behind those
atrocities. In 2002, the focus was expanded to human rights issues,
and, in 2011, the official name was changed to the Holocaust, Genocide,
and Human Rights Center.
The HGHRC seeks to educate the public about the very problems we wish
to avoid facing. It presents us with the issues of good and evil,
compassion and empathy, and humanity's tendency to distrust those who
are different. The collection addresses how we undermine others’
human rights and how we can circumvent these atrocities in the future
through education and peace initiatives. The collection now contains
over 600 holdings, including books and videos.

The HGHRC can be accessed any time the library is open. Simply stop at
the Library Service Desk (main floor of the library) for a key to the
room.
For further information, please call 292-2338.
