In order for students to understand the importance of the Holocaust as a historical event and as part of our shared human story, it is critical to teach this history with a sound framework for instruction. Review our “pedagogy-in-practice” principles to apply to your planning and implementation.

Seeking to increase your own historical knowledge? We suggest our 15-minute Video Toolbox films that contain comprehensive historic and contextual framing on a variety of critical topics, and are well-aligned to many of our classroom lesson plans.

Those with limited instructional time struggle with where to begin and what to include. Review our sample One Day Lesson Plan, which introduces the definition of the “Holocaust” and its inherent connection to antisemitism, as well as a sample Day Two Lesson Plan, which builds on the concepts covered in the One Day Lesson Plan by introducing key events that led to the escalation of the “Final Solution” for a 2nd class period of instruction.
