Taught by MCHE's Jessica Rockhold through Ottawa University, this course centers on a chronological survey of Holocaust history with emphasis on the evolution of Nazi policy. In addition to learning from content-based readings and web activities, participants will explore cross-curricular teaching techniques appropriate to Holocaust education, become familiar with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Guidelines for Teaching the Holocaust, and gain hands-on practice with primary source analysis.

Teachers will leave this course with increased personal knowledge of Holocaust history, usable classroom activities, age-appropriate resources, and a familiarity with the recorded testimonies of Holocaust survivors. Content and activities are appropriate for junior high, middle school, and high school educators ONLY.
