Ramapo College History Club

The goal of the Ramapo College History Club is to share our common love of history, promote historical discussion, debunk historical myths and to have fun while doing it. We welcome members and non-members alike to attend our meetings and events.

Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies

Our mission is to encourage and assist persons of all ages in learning the history and lessons of the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide and other similar tragedies. Our hope is that in understanding the pernicious consequences of anti-semitism, racism, ethnic hatred and other forms of bigotry, we can endeavor to build a better future.

Resources

• American Memory Historical Collections from the Library of Congress*
  American Memory provides free and open access through the Internet to written and spoken words, sound recordings, still and moving images, prints, maps, and sheet music that document the American experience. It is a digital record of American history and creativity.
• History News Network (HNN)*
  Even those who profess utter indifference to history are beholden to it. History is inescapable. Who we are and how we react to events depends, to a great extent, on our past. As Eugene O’Neill has a character in Long Day’s Journey into Night exclaim, at a critical juncture, “The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future, too. We all try to lie out of that but life won’t let us.”
