COUNTERING DENIAL AND DISTORTION WITH TESTIMONY-BASED HOLOCAUST EDUCATION
January 14th, 2025
4:00 PM ET
Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.
Holocaust denial and distortion have a legacy that began with the Holocaust itself and has become especially virulent in an era where fewer and fewer firsthand survivors and witnesses remain. Replacing history and evidence with antisemitic conspiracy thinking, Holocaust denial and distortion threaten human rights and democratic values worldwide. Today, the internet, and particularly social media, is the primary source for the spread of this issue.
Testimony-based education plays an essential role in stopping this spread by building students’ resilience to the antisemitic conspiracy thinking that grounds Holocaust denial and distortion. USC Shoah Foundation holds one of the largest collections of Holocaust survivor testimonies that are featured on IWitness, the award-winning educational website.
Join this webinar, led by USC Shoah Foundation’s Lesly Culp, Director of Education and Lacey Schauwecker, Program Administrator, to learn how testimony-based resources provide students with critical thinking skills that can increase their ability to respond to antisemitism, including that of Holocaust denial and distortion.
This webinar connects to Units 10 - 12 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
