A Teacher’s Guide to Teaching the Holocaust: Part One {Teaching Tips}<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

International Holocaust Remembrance Day – January 27th<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Planning on teaching the Holocaust but don’t know where or how to begin? Responsibly teaching the Holocaust can feel like a huge undertaking, but with the right tools + practices you’ll find just how impactful teaching and learning about this important, yet hard history can be. As we’ve seen a surge in anti-Semitic violence over the past few years, it is crucial that we remember + never forget. Teaching + learning about the Holocaust is one way we can fight racism and anti-Semitism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of teaching the Holocaust as a middle school teacher, I’ve developed what I believe is a well-balanced approach to tackling this difficult and sensitive topic. Over the years, I’ve done the work to identify accurate, reliable resources that inform + educate students about the Holocaust in a responsible, age appropriate way. Now, I’m sharing those teaching tips + resources with you in a two-part blog post! Part One features my tried + true {teaching tips}, and Part Two<\/a> is my treasure trove of {teaching resources}<\/a>. Note that the teaching materials I have selected intentionally go beyond the one-sided narrative we often hear and explore alternative perspectives, including those of survivors + the Danish Resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
