TEACHING THE HISTORY AND LEGACY OF MAUTHAUSEN: A CASE STUDY IN BRUTALITY, RESISTANCE, AND REMEMBRANCE

October 28th, 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.

Located in Austria next to a granite quarry, Mauthausen was one of the most brutal sites in the Nazi concentration camp system, including the infamous “Stairs of Death”. Join Echoes & Reflections Facilitator and Holocaust educator Todd Hennessy as he offers guidance and appropriate pedagogical approaches on how to teach about the concentration camp system through this important site. Utilizing visual history testimony, photographs, and information on how the site functions today, educators will gain valuable strategies to help students engage critically with the legacy of Nazi crimes and the importance of sites of memory today.
