The Holocaust, Testimony, and Social Emotional Learning

Teaching about the Holocaust through the use of testimonies moves lessons beyond facts, dates, and statistics. It builds students' social-emotional capacities. The power of personal narrative is inherent in stories of survival and bearing witness to history. And yet, the stories are relatable and foster empathetic thinking. Testimony cultivates students’ ability to be introspective and intentional, connecting them through their own understanding of what it means to be human.

Join Echoes & Reflections in this webinar to learn how the testimony in each Echoes & Reflections unit can help develop social-emotional learning (SEL).
