TEACHING ABOUT PERPETRATORS: THE ROLE OF THE GERMAN POLICE IN THE HOLOCAUST
May 1st, 2024
3:00 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.
How did the German police become mass murderers, involved in deportations and mass shootings of Jews and others during the Holocaust? This webinar will explore the transformation of the German police, staffed by "ordinary men," into an instrument of state repression and genocide under the Nazi regime. Join Yad Vashem educator Julian Tsapir to examine historical sources and get insights into the ideological training, the situational dynamics and the personal motivations at play in turning police into perpetrators.
