2023 Holocaust Writing & Visual Arts Competition

   The UJCVP sponsors the Holocaust Writing & Visual Arts Competition, funded by the Sarfan/William M. & Gary S. Nachman Philanthropic Fund of the UJC Endowment. One of the primary goals of this competition is to encourage young people to apply the lessons of history to the moral decisions they make today. Through studying the Holocaust, students explore the issues of moral courage as well as the dangers of prejudice, peer pressure, unthinking obedience to authority, and indifference. This competition provides students an opportunity to think and express themselves creatively about what they have learned.
