“Social Justice and the Holocaust” interactive session for teachers and students

Social Justice and the HolocaustThe Holocaust occurred 80 years ago and decimated the Jews of Europe. It is an unprecedented example of extreme genocide fueled by hatred and racism. Echoes & Reflections is committed to partnering with educators to foster confidence and amplify the skills needed to teach about the Holocaust in a comprehensive and meaningful way. We’ve curated the following programs and materials to help initiate important discussions and respond to students’ difficult questions.
What are the lessons to be learned from this violent and barbaric episode in history?
How do we apply these lessons to modern day society to ensure a more equitable environment for people of all religions and race?
