  • The Holocaust
    The Holocaust Contents The Holocaust: Theme Overview 1 Artifacts Helena Zaleska 2 Auschwitz-Birkenau, 1944 3 Star of David 4 Metal cup 5 Child’s shoe 6 The Holocaust: Theme Overview When Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, they began to systematically remove Jews from the cultural and commercial life of Germany. Jewish property and businesses were confiscated and Jewish children were denied the right to a public education. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 further isolated Jews by revoking their citizenship. The goal was to make Germany judenrein (free of Jews). On Kristallnacht —the Night of Broken Glass — November 9, 1938, Jewish synagogues and businesses in Germany and Austria were attacked and hundreds of Jews arrested. This marked a new level of ferocity in the Nazis’ anti-Semitic policies. As European countries came under German occupation during World War II, Nazis applied anti-Jewish measures and established ghettos to confine Jewish populations. By the end of 1941, the Final Solution, the Nazi policy of extermi- nating all Jews, was in place and the mass deportations of Jews to the concentration camps had begun. HIDING Some Jews tried to escape by going into hiding. Few succeeded because only a small number of gentiles were willing to risk hiding Jews. Since hiding even one person was dangerous, children were often separated from their parents and siblings. Many parents had to make the painful decision to give their children over to complete strangers. Some children were sent to live with Christian families or placed in convents and orphanages. To survive, children often had to assume Christian identities, changing their names and histories in order to pass as non-Jews.

  • State Policies Concerning Holocaust Education by Dustin D
    Curriculum Education Commission of the States • 700 Broadway, Suite 1200 • Denver, CO 80203-3460 • 303.299.3600 • Fax: 303.296.8332 • www.ecs.org State Policies Concerning Holocaust Education By Dustin D. Weeden June 2005 Introduction During the height of Nazi power from 1933 through 1945, six million Jews and millions of other people were murdered in concentration camps. Following the liberation of these camps by the Allied powers, the world learned of the state-sponsored genocide now known as the Holocaust. Holocaust education did not end then as decades later the world is still learning about the atrocities that occurred. A handful of states have incorporated Holocaust education into state education policy, ensuring younger generations will continue learning about the human rights violations that transpired. State education policy concerning the Holocaust typically takes one of two forms. The first is the creation of a commission, council or task force on the Holocaust. The second is mandating instruction of the Holocaust be part of state curriculum. While increasing awareness of the Holocaust through education is the common purpose, commissions and curricula accomplish their objectives differently. This StateNote includes only statutory provisions and excludes state board or department programs. States such as Ohio, which created a council on the Holocaust by order of the governor, are not included in these notes. How Many States Have Holocaust Education Statutes? Seventeen states have passed some type of legislation regarding Holocaust education. Alabama, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina Tennessee and West Virginia have created a commission or similar body on the Holocaust.

  • Holocaust Education Teacher Resources Why Teach The
    Holocaust Education Teacher Resources Compiled by Sasha Wittes, Holocaust Education Facilitator For Ilana Krygier Lapides, Director, Holocaust & Human Rights Education Calgary Jewish Federation Why Teach The Holocaust? The Holocaust illustrates how silence and indifference to the suffering of others, can unintentionally, serve to perpetuate the problem. It is an unparalleled event in history that brings to the forefront the horrors of racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism, as well as the capacity for human evil. The Canadian education system should aim to be: democratic, non-repressive, humanistic and non-discriminating. It should promote tolerance and offer bridges for understanding of the other for reducing alienation and for accommodating differences. Democratic education is the backbone of a democratic society, one that fosters the underpinning values of respect, morality, and citizenship. Through understanding of the events, education surrounding the Holocaust has the ability to broaden students understanding of stereotyping and scapegoating, ensuring they become aware of some of the political, social, and economic antecedents of racism and provide a potent illustration of both the bystander effect, and the dangers posed by an unthinking conformity to social norms and group peer pressure. The study of the Holocaust coupled with Canada’s struggle with its own problems and challenges related to anti-Semitism, racism, and xenophobia will shed light on the issues facing our society. What was The Holocaust? History’s most extreme example of anti- Semitism, the Holocaust, was the systematic state sponsored, bureaucratic, persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933-1945. The term “Holocaust” is originally of Greek origin, meaning ‘sacrifice by fire’ (www.ushmm.org).

  • An Unfolding Genocide Using National Research to Inform Your Classroom Practice
    CENTRE FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION An unfolding genocide Using national research to inform your classroom practice. Highlights from our research report ‘What do students know and understand about Research the Holocaust?’ Evidence from English secondary schools (Foster et al, 2016). briefing 3 Free to download at www.ucl.ac.uk/holocaust-education The Holocaust was not a single, monolithic event but a sequential process that developed and became radicalised over time. Why does this matter? If students are to understand that a genocide does not happen merely For students, building a detailed knowledge of the Holocaust’s chronology can enable them to see because someone wills it, it is important that they see how the development the underlying patterns and processes involved. It can allow them to identify key turning points and from persecution to genocide unfolded and evolved over time; that key understand why significant decisions were made in the context of each particular moment. This powerful decisions were taken by a range of individuals and agencies; and that the knowledge can help them to understand how extremist actions in a society can take root and develop. context of a European war was critical in shaping these decisions. This third briefing in our series reports on what English secondary school students know and understand about the chronology of the Holocaust, when it happened and how it developed. Closely linked, the next briefing examines students’ knowledge and understanding of where the Holocaust took place. So that students understand a genocide does not happen merely because of one person’s will, it is important that they see how the Holocaust unfolded over time; that decisions What do students know about were made by a range of different individuals; when the Holocaust happened? and that the people involved were influenced by the context of the unfolding war.

  • Holocaust Education 'Never, Never Be a Bystander'
    BRIEFING Holocaust education 'Never, never be a bystander' SUMMARY This year, 27 January, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marks the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp. One focus of this annual day of commemoration is the responsibility borne by those who remain indifferent in the face of intolerance and discrimination. This places the Holocaust in the context of human rights, broadening Holocaust education to issues of tolerance, respect for human dignity, and democracy. Holocaust education, which traditionally centres on the human and historical dimension, is also a vehicle for reflection on ethical and legal issues, and promotes critical thinking and open- mindedness. In contrast with ethical aspects and critical thinking, the legal dimension adds a new perspective to school education that can put additional pressure on the teachers responsible for Holocaust education, extending beyond their usual subject areas. Moreover, many European countries host immigrant populations whose collective history does not include this particular experience. Pupils and students meanwhile use social media, a potential source of conspiracy theories, Holocaust denial, antisemitism and xenophobia. In this context, teachers need to be ready to deal with this subject in a difficult social environment. They also need adequate resources and tools to address inconvenient truths of the period. International institutions, and the European Union and its bodies, encourage dialogue and research on these issues, recognising the importance of Holocaust education and its human rights aspects for democracy and tolerant societies. The European Union provides funds, expert bodies and agencies to address the history, education, pedagogy and rights aspects of Holocaust education in all its dimensions of discrimination, persecution and extermination of Jewish, Roma and Sinti populations, as well as other minorities.
