A majority of U.S. states don't have laws requiring public school students to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust.
"Holocaust education is essential. But I also believe that it should be part of a chain of education that deals with the diverse groups that make up the United States,""It's important to establish that the Holocaust is not an outlier" and should be taught alongside lessons about slavery, Indigenous removal and threats to democracy.
"No one is keeping tabs on what each school is doing ... there's no time commitment. The bill does not stipulate that X number of hours is needed or do it at this time of year. So you'll see a lot of variation from district to district." Abramson said her center provides teachers with lesson plans and ideas to teach the Holocaust effectively, but sometimes she finds a school doing something offensive.Holocaust education shouldn't be simply about knowing how many Jewish people were killed, Amy Asin, vice president and director of strengthening congregations for the Union of Reform Judaism, told Axios.
"It should also be about recognizing the signs, the threats to democracy, and how antisemitism is the gateway to racism."
