Holocaust Education refers to the teaching and learning about the events of the Holocaust, during which six million Jews and millions of others were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime from 1941 to 1945. This education aims to provide historical context, promote understanding of the consequences of hatred and discrimination, and encourage critical thinking about human rights.
Programs often include lessons on the rise of Nazism, the impact of World War II, and the stories of survivors. Educational resources may include books, films, and visits to memorials or museums, such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, to foster empathy and awareness.
