The Holocaust can be a complex and difficult topic to teach: it must be fact-based and encourage critical thinking in students. We develop tools around educationally sound approaches to teaching about the Holocaust, for both teachers at school and education professionals developing their own teaching programs.
This page will help teachers and other education professionals discover the resources we offer to help people teach and learn about the Holocaust and genocide of the Roma.
Holocaust education is an essential part of building a world that remembers the Holocaust, a world without genocide. Our Member Countries share a commitment to encourage the study of the Holocaust, and promote education on Holocaust-related issues in our schools and universities. In this way we can ensure future generations continue to remember the Holocaust, and understand why it must never happen again.
