This question — often asked when students learn about the Holocaust — is as relevant today as it has ever been. The history of this phenomenon dates back more than 2,000 years, but lessons about the Holocaust often do not consider pre-20th century history. Bronx teachers and paraprofessionals are invited to a workshop designed for teachers of ELA and social studies and for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of history. Participants will leave with ready-to-use classroom resources.
