Teaching the Holocaust - Guidelines, Resources, Professional Development
Rather than "reinventing the wheel" so to speak, we would like to direct you to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website.
The direct link to the section for teachers is:
http://www.ushmm.org/education/foreducators/.
This section of the site is a wealth of information - take the time to scroll down and find the links to exemplary lessons, professional development opportunities, as well as "Guidelines for Teaching the Holocaust" and a "Teacher Online Workshop" for doing so.
Take the time to read through the guidelines - over the years, it has been our experience that the "how's" and the "why's" of what we teach are or should be of equal concern to the material we present to our students - thus the task of teaching the Holocaust is no exception.
