On-site: “It Starts with Words: Teaching the Escalation of Hate”
For Educators in Grades 7-12
The Holocaust arose out of antisemitic hatred fueled in part by the power of words. Participants examine the escalation of words to violence, which in turn, became genocide in order to consider where such a progression might have been interrupted. Educators also gain tools to apply these lessons to modern day issues faced by students.
Presented in Partnership with Echoes and Reflections
