BREAKING DOWN BINARIES IN HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE EDUCATION

February 6th, 2025

5:30 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 and genocide education often frame people and groups in terms of binaries, such as victim-perpetrator or bystander-upstander. While these binaries can help make the complex narratives of the Holocaust and other genocides more approachable and offer moral absolutes for learners, it is also important to examine the complexities of individual choices and actions.

Join Holocaust and genocide education scholars and Echoes & Reflections facilitators Drs. George Dalbo and Irene Ann Resenly to learn about how to complicate traditional binaries of perpetrator-victim and bystander-upstander in Holocaust and genocide education. Using Echoes & Reflections resources from Units II, VII, and XII, participants will explore more nuanced approaches to understanding individual and collective roles and actions during the Holocaust and other genocides.
