Our Story
Founded in 2023 by Jasmine Kranat, the Atlantic Canada Holocaust Education Foundation (ACHEF) is dedicated to advancing Holocaust education in the region. Stemming from the need for greater understanding, ACHEF initially introduced the Traveling Holocaust Education Exhibit. Today, ACHEF continues to provide comprehensive programs, with a focus on humanizing the Holocaust through individual stories and testimonies.
