PHOENIX – In an effort to educate the community on the Holocaust, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne presented a multi-million dollar check to help build a Holocaust education center in Phoenix.
On Tuesday, Horne gave the Arizona Jewish Historical Society a $7 million check from the Arizona Department of Education to aid in the development of the Hilton Family Holocaust Education Center.
Estimated to open in 2027 near the Arizona Jewish Historical Society building, the center is aimed at educating 50,000 students a year on the Holocaust and other genocides.
