Eastern North Carolina Holocaust Project
The Eastern North Carolina Holocaust Project, located at East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, is an educational and research resource for the people of eastern North Carolina. By helping preserve the memory of the 6,000,000 Jews and 5,000,000, Slavs, Gypsies, Gays, and others murdered by Nazi Germany between 1939-45, the project seeks to help prevent future genocides from occurring. The ECU North Carolina Holocaust Project is affiliated with the North Carolina Council on the Holocaust, located in Raleigh, NC.
One of the ENCHP's major goals is to make available Holocaust-related resources at Joyner Library, for the benefit of the ECU community and the region. ECU students, faculty, and staff, are entitled to check items out of the library, while area residents are welcome to use these materials in the library or obtain borrowing privileges for a $15.00 annual fee. Area teachers--with proof of status--who wish to borrow Joyner Library materials for classroom use may obtain an Educator's Card from the Joyner Library Teaching Resources Center without charge.
