Ramapo students may minor in Human Rights and Genocide Studies. The CHJS supports this program with events and courses taught by its director. The College also offers a Jewish Studies Minor, which can be a meaningful complement to academic explorations of the Holocaust鈥攐ne which recalls the agency, culture, and history of victims.

The CHGS maintains a growing collection of books and other materials pertinent to research and teaching in our fields of Holocaust and genocide studies. A complete listing of our resources may accessed . Our shelves are located in front of the Special Collections Reading Room, which houses the CHGS, on the second floor of the George T.
