Description

While almost 80 years have passed since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, teaching and researching the Holocaust remains relevant due to the rise of antisemitism and intolerance towards other religions on a global scale. Teaching and researching the Holocaust can serve as a powerful example to impart valuable lessons to younger generations and the public about the consequences of hatred, bigotry, and discrimination. Additionally, beyond preserving the experiences of the victims, it can be a potent tool for cultivating a more tolerant and democratic society, thus enhancing individual and collective awareness on these matters. The aim of this article is to present digital resources about the Holocaust that history educators may use to develop learning scenarios tailored to their classroom needs, interests, and capacities.
