Lunch & Learn - The History of Holocaust Education: The American Approach

Holocaust education has become a recent subject of popular debate throughout the United States. Some studies raise alarm about a reported lack of Holocaust knowledge, particularly among young Americans. In contrast, others point to the success of Holocaust education in promoting tolerance and empathy in students. How do we understand these recent developments in historical context? How has teaching about the Holocaust changed in the seventy-five years since the end of World War II? Join Spencer Cronin, Program Coordinator, for a Lunch & Learn on the history of American Holocaust education.

The Museum’s Lunch & Learn Series features quarterly programs on Holocaust history and human rights topics in an informal setting to encourage questions and discussion. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used. This program is recommended for high school students and adults.
