TEACHING THE HOLOCAUST AND JIM CROW RACISM TOGETHER: OPPORTUNITIES AND PITFALLS

October 20th, 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.

In the last few years, it has become common for writers and commentators to examine intersections between crimes against Jews in Nazi Germany and anti-Black racism in the U.S. Indeed, in conversations, popular books, and films like Origin (2022) one hears that the “Nazis got their ideas from the American South.” In his talk, professor and author Jonathan Wiesen will address this claim by exploring the benefits, misunderstandings, and pitfalls of studying the Holocaust and Jim Crow racism together.
