The NH mandate on Holocaust and genocide education is an important part of the ongoing work of public education to build competency in democratic citizenship. The Cohen Institute is well situated to support, train, and provide resources and programming to reinforce this mandate and the work of the NH Commission on Holocaust and Genocide Education. We seek to be proactive in helping students identify the risk factors for violence and productively respond to preserve human dignity and freedom.

NH Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month Declaration
New Hampshire recognizes April as Genocide Awareness month. The governor urges NH cities and towns to observe this month in an appropriate manner commemorating the victims of genocides and educating the public about the importance of preventing intolerance, bigotry, antisemitism, and national, ethnic, racial, and religious hatred and genocide against any group of people. In this way, we can continue to build resilient communities that recognize and respect difference.
