The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) is committed to supporting human rights education in the classroom. This webinar hosted by the CMHR in collaboration with Andrea Webb (UBC), co‐director of Survivor‐Centred Visual Narratives, will introduce educators to ways they can bring Holocaust education into the classroom with respect and consideration. During the webinar, participants will be provided with resources that support Holocaust education, teaching about genocides, and teaching about human rights. Participants will learn where to seek support and leave with tools to help them teach students Holocaust‐related content according to their provincial or territorial mandate.
