Year Established: 1985

Mission:  As a partnership of Holocaust survivors, their descendants and the larger community, we honor the memory and legacy of the survivors and victims, promote awareness of the Holocaust, provide education of this and other genocides, and contribute to tikkun olam, repair of the world.

Services: As a unique, regional resource for Holocaust education and remembrance, PHA promotes human dignity by inspiring people to speak out and take action against hate, bigotry, intolerance, and discrimination. The PHA has a long history of active involvement in both local and national Holocaust education and remembrance events. Started in Phoenix more than 36 years ago, the Phoenix Holocaust Survivors’ Association, as it was known then, was a place for Holocaust survivors to connect to others with similar experiences. At its core then, as it is now, was recognizing the importance of talking about the Holocaust. 3GAZ is a new group under the auspices of PHA for the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, and the future of Holocaust remembrance. Over the years, PHA expanded its focus to include not only survivors but also their descendants and the larger topic of genocide.
