The South
Carolina Council on the Holocaust was established to develop an educational program to prevent
future atrocities similar to the systematic program of genocide of six million Jews and others by
the Nazis. This program is designed to honor the survivors of the
Holocaust and their descendants
and the South Carolinians and their descendants who participated in the
liberation of the concentration camps. The Council plans annual observances of the Holocaust
and maintains a Holocaust Virtual Library as a
digital information resource.
