Featuring scholars from the Equal Justice Initiative, Institute for Common Power, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and more, educators will wrestle in this workshop with profound moral questions raised by the respective histories of African Americans and the Holocaust and their legacies today. How did systems of oppression in Nazi Germany and the United States enable, and inflame what unfolded then, and what patterns can we recognize today? At the same time, participants will gain classroom-ready resources and considerations to help their students not only consider these issues, but also to sharpen their skills in critical thinking, ethical reflection and empathy, and civic responsibility in the face of systems of oppression today.

In partnership: The Holocaust Center for Humanity, Northwest African American Museum, The Olga Lengyel Institute (TOLI)
