What It Is

Chhange, short for the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide Education, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization located on the campus of Brookdale Community College in New Jersey, USA. Its mission is to provide education on the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights; promote the elimination of racism, antisemitism, and all forms of prejudice; and encourage the public to take action in the face of injustice.

Core Content and Format

Based on the content reviewed, Chhange is not a standardized online course platform, but rather an educational center and public humanities resource organization. Its programs include teacher workshops, school programs, resource materials, training for law enforcement, clergy training, and exhibitions and public events. Its core exhibition, “Journeys Beyond Genocide: The Human Experience,” covers topics including the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, and the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda. The website also mentions digital archives, virtual teacher resources, online programs, and professional development workshops designed for virtual, hybrid, and in-person teaching.

Pricing and Certificates

The available text does not disclose specific course prices, ticket rates, membership fees, or training costs, nor does it provide information about certificates, credits, or accreditation. Therefore, if it is being considered for school procurement, teacher continuing education, or institutional training, it would be necessary to contact the official email address or phone number to confirm fees, duration, registration procedures, and whether a certificate of completion is provided.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths lie in its long institutional history and ongoing service to students, teachers, and communities since its founding in 1979. It offers 50–75 programs each year, reaching more than 50,000 students, educators, and community members. Its educational approach emphasizes survivor testimony, archival materials, and real personal stories, with participation from survivors and descendants connected to the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, and other histories. The limitations are that the website content reviewed leans more toward institutional introduction, while specific course syllabi, learning pathways, pricing, and learning outcomes are not sufficiently transparent. In addition, its offline resources are concentrated in New Jersey, making full participation difficult for overseas users.

Who It Is For and Access from China

It is suitable for teachers preparing lessons, school-based anti-discrimination education, supplementary materials for university human rights courses, community remembrance events, and human rights awareness training for law enforcement and religious organizations. For users in China, if the goal is simply to browse the English-language website and digital resources, actual accessibility cannot be determined from the text. In-person visits are clearly limited by geography, and no Chinese-language services are shown.
