The London Jewish Cultural Centre (LJCC; formerly the Spiro Institute) is a charitable organisation that has been based since 2005 at Ivy House, the former home of prima ballerina Anna Pavlova, in North End Road, Golders Green, London. It provides an educational programme of courses, events and leisure activities.[1]
LJCC's courses include, in partnership with the University of Southampton, a one-year MA in Jewish History and Culture.[2]
History
The LJCC was previously known as the Spiro Instutte, which was crteated by Nitza & Robin Spiro.[3]
Organisation
Louise Jacobs is the Chief Executive and Michael Marx is Chairman.[1]
Holocaust education
LJCC's Holocaust and Anti-Racism Education Department seeks to fight prejudice and bigotry through education and to emphasis the relevance of the Holocaust for humanity as a whole. It runs educational programmes in the UK, and – under the auspices of the International Task Force for Holocaust Education – in Eastern Europe and in China. The Department also advises many organisations, including the BBC, on issues related to the Holocaust and racism.[4]
In January 2011, with the backing of Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Education, the LJCC launched The Holocaust Explained, an education website for secondary school children.[5][6]
Art
The Centre holds 97 paintings by the artist Yonia Fain (born 1913).[7]
