Teaching the Holocaust

Ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is observed in January, we invite you to participate in this program specifically curated for Educators.

A three-session course for educators focusing on the density of the Holocaust as its own interdisciplinary subject. We will also address questions, concerns, and the complications of teaching the Holocaust in the 21st century.

1. The History of the Holocaust. How is the subject taught in your classroom? Are we sure the students understand, and what exactly are we teaching? We will also cover the difference between Holocaust education and Holocaust history. Are your students learning anything from the Holocaust?
2. Books and Movies about the Holocaust. Which ones have worked for you? Which of them is the best to feature in the classroom? We will offer age-appropriate suggestions to supplement your lessons.
3. Resources and Lessons. We will explore additional resources, techniques, and websites such as Echoes & Reflections, Facing History and Ourselves, and the USHMM’s online sources, valuable tools for any classroom lesson.

This course is offered to all educators of all grades.

We value educators and provide a full grant for professional development courses with the code TEACHER at registration.
