The Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies hosted an international symposium, Policy and Practice: Pedagogy about the Holocaust and Genocide. The conference opened with a keynote panel History, Politics, and Education: Teaching about the Holocaust and Genocide. Panelists addressed key questions: Is Holocaust teaching in the United States and Europe morally driven, possibly at the expense of historical content? What are the politics of education about genocide in a post-conflict society like Cambodia? And what is the impact of curriculum silence in a denialist society such as Turkey? The symposium continued with a series of closed workshop panels on: Formal and Non-Formal Education; Content Orientation vs Civic Education; Challenges and Best Practice; Politics and Policy; and Looking Ahead. Educators, leading academics, museum curators, and doctoral students from around the world will participate.
