These Recommendations will allow you to: 

• Explain why teaching and learning about the Holocaust matters. The guidelines provide compelling reasons for covering the Holocaust in classroom curricula, so that students have a deeper understanding of the past and how it shapes the present. 

• Find appropriate sources for your learning environment. Covering this subject in a way which is both sensitive and accurate can be difficult; these recommendations include practical guidance on how to make your choices.  

• Bring curricula up to date with latest research. There’s a huge range of recent research in this field; we’ve made it easy to incorporate these findings into your classroom. 

“The field of teaching and learning about the Holocaust has evolved over the past two decades. The world is always, of course, changing as well. We want to ensure the Recommendations remain relevant for educators who must navigate current challenges and seize new opportunities.”

— Jennifer Ciardelli, Project Co-Chair and Member of the IHRA's Educational Working Group
