Dear John,
ADL’s Pyramid of Hate® educational tool describes how unchecked biased attitudes and actions can lead to systemic discrimination, violence and even genocide.
On January 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, communities around the world come together to remember the over 6,000,000 Jews and millions of non-Jews who were murdered because of antisemitism and hatred.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a teachable moment.
As you consider the commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Day, we've curated a variety of resources that can help you and your students understand the Holocaust and its ongoing meaning today.
FOR EDUCATORS:
Echoes & Reflections: Provides professional learning opportunities and classroom content to equip educators for effective instruction of Holocaust and resonant themes of today.
Antisemitism: What do Educators Need to Know: A mini-lesson for educators to help build skills to recognize and address antisemitism by unpacking its definition and exploring Jewish identity.
Resources to Address and Challenge Antisemitism: Teaches young people the values of mutual respect and equity and how to act as an ally when they see bias of any kind.
Pyramid of Hate Mini-lesson for Educators: This mini-lesson introduces educators to the Pyramid of Hate, an ADL concept and activity that demonstrates how escalating levels of attitudes and behavior grow in complexity from biased ideas to discrimination and acts of violence.
FOR STUDENTS:
January 25: Webinar “To Infinity and Beyond: Resilience by Teenagers During the Holocaust”: Join Sheryl Ochayon, Project Director of Echoes from Yad Vashem, to hear the incredible story of Petr Ginz and other imprisoned teenagers who refused to be vanquished. They managed to compose poetry, write, draw, and create magazines, all in secret. Petr's drawing of the moon even made it into outer space, symbolizing the heights the human spirit can reach.
Echoes & Reflections Digital Student Activities “Explore the Past, Shape the Future”: These dynamic activities combine the power of Holocaust survivor and witness testimony with inquiry-driven learning pathways to encourage critical thinking, reflection, and understanding of this vital history and its ongoing meaning.
