About the Catholic Institute for Holocaust StudiesSeton Hill University, a Catholic liberal arts university, initiated a national Catholic movement toward Holocaust studies in 1987. This was in response to the call of Pope John Paul II to recognize the significance of the SHOAH, the Holocaust, and to "promote the necessary historical and religious studies on the event which concerns the whole of humanity today." (8/8/87) About The International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem The new Holocaust History museum The international school is responsible year-round for all educational activities held at Yad Vashem - the most comprehensive center of Holocaust commemoration in the world. The Shoah is seen as a seminal event in human history which confronts and challenges Jews and non-Jews alike. The institute for educators focuses on the historical dimensions in order to best grapple with the moral and philosophical issues that are raised. About the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of AntisemitismThe center was created to promote academic research into antisemitic phenomena. It investigates and analyzes trends and influences, and seeks long-range ways to deal with the modern manifestations of the disease, mobilizing interdisciplinary, interfaith and international research teams.
