Education is our focus

The teaching materials developed by the Institute are designed to appropriately enable learners of all ages to:

• Understand the political, social, and intellectual conditions that led to the Holocaust
• Recognize stereotypes, prejudice and racism
• Consider the fragile nature of the legal and moral structure of Western society and the vigilance necessary to preserve it
• Evaluate the extent to which governments can either safeguard or violate human rights
• Consider potential conflicts between civic obligation and moral beliefs
• Assess the consequences of indifference to the plight of others
• Grapple with moral dilemmas posed by the Holocaust and reflect upon the sanctity of human life as a standard for guiding behavior
