    Holocaust Education

      White Rose Fund

      For nearly a decade, the Joint Holocaust Education Subcommittee of the Virginia Holocaust Museum and the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond have conducted a small campaign to raise additional funds to support worthwhile projects related to Holocaust and tolerance education.
      The White Rose Fund ensures Holocaust and tolerance educational projects and programs the committee supports can be carried out, making it possible for the lessons of the Holocaust to be transmitted to educators and students in the metropolitan Richmond area.
