Bring Free Teacher Training to Your Educator Community

Partner with us for professional development that empowers your local educators to teach about the Holocaust with our transformative classroom content and instructional strategies.

Echoes & Reflections is the kind of resource we want to put into the hands of our secondary teachers. The modular nature of the lessons and the integration of visual history testimony make this a very teacher-friendly resource. Your materials support students to use critical thinking skills and to apply what they have learned in their daily lives.

WHY TEACH ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST

With increased hate-fueled violence, incidents of antisemitism and xenophobia, and challenges to democratic values and norms, Holocaust education is more important than ever.

Through a thoughtful and sound study of the Holocaust, students gain an understanding of the potential dangers and consequences of unchecked hate and can grow into responsible citizens.

    Increase knowledge of the content and context of the history of the Holocaust;

    Foster empathy for the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides;

    Engage in critical thinking to support thoughtful reflection on a range of societal issues;

    Make relevant and contemporary connections; and

    Compel action by examining the role and responsibility of individuals in a democratic society.
