The Programs on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust (PERH) fosters scholarship, teaching, and reflection on the complex ethical, theological, and historical questions raised by the Holocaust.
PERH engages various topics from multi-disciplinary perspectives. It supports academics, interfaith leaders, and organizations through seminars, workshops, and group visits.
Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust
The Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust (CERH) of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council advises PERH.
The Mandel Center, through PERH, works with the Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations (CCJR) and other interfaith organizations. PERH partners include member seminaries of the Association of Theological Schools and leaders of all faiths.
The Mandel Center is a Related Scholarly Organization of the American Academy of Religion (AAR).
