About The Library

Our library is officially complete and open to the public!

The Holocaust Documentation & Education Center Reference & Research library will provide access to Holocaust related materials (books, journals, videos, etc) to teachers, students, researchers, historians and the general public. Download our brochure!

Library hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, by appointment only. If you are interested in making an appointment to visit the library please speak to Jaime at 954-929-5690 x378 or email librarian@hdec.org. Patrons wishing to view interviews from our Oral History Library Collection will also need to speak with Rita Hofrichter, Documentation Department Director, prior to their visit.

Reference and research materials are available for in-library use. Exceptions can be made for teachers, professors and other school professionals in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties wishing to use our materials for their classes. Please feel free to view our Library Policies, Borrowing Agreement and Oral History Usage Agreement.

Cataloging of library items is currently ongoing, but feel free to look at our catalog!
