Produced in consultation with a wide range of experts and institutions, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the publication is intended to serve as a resource for policy-makers, curriculum developers, textbooks writers and publishers, and teacher educators. It suggests key learning objectives for education about the Holocaust, as well as topics and activities aligned with educational frameworks relevant to Global Citizenship Education, a priority of the 2030 Education Agenda. It also provides policy-makers with rationales to teach about the Holocaust, and more broadly the history of genocides and mass atrocities, in a variety of contexts. The policy guide identifies key areas of implementation: curricula, textbooks, professional development, classroom practices, cooperation with museums, memorials and the civil society, adult education, and commemorative activities. It also contains various links to historical and educational resources.
