"What is the relationship between teaching about the Holocaust and learning from the Holocaust? Can Holocaust education help to raise awareness of contemporary racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and threats to democracy? Can Holocaust education help to sow "seeds of concern" among students and others about what it means to be a citizen in a democracy? Can Holocaust education contribute to understanding and preventing future genocides? If so, how? The rise in hate crimes targeting victims because of their race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation is strongly reminiscent of the kind of violence that accompanied the rise of Hitler and the Nazis in Europe and Nazi Germany before and during the Holocaust. Holocaust Education Today: Confronting Extremism, Hate, and Mass Atrocity Crimes is a resource for teachers and clergy, students and others interested in thinking about and confronting the growing threats to human rights and democracy today in our fractured world."
