Learning about the Holocaust and its lessons has never been more crucial than for
today’s students who in this workshop will learn that this event of global proportions
involved perpetrators, victims, bystanders, beneficiaries, and rescuers not just in
Europe, but elsewhere in the world. As the number of Holocaust survivors decline, so,
too, do opportunities to teach what can happen when apathy and/or ignorance prevail
over knowledge and understanding. Students will confront questions of who was
involved in the Holocaust in what ways. Among the areas of focus are Antisemitism,
Hitler’s Rise to Power, Stages of Terror, War Expansion, Rescue, Resistance, and
Liberation.
