This seminar brings together the Toronto Holocaust Museum and Facing History and Ourselves for a unique new educator learning opportunity. Our learning will include an exploration of Jewish immigration, history and heritage in Canada, as well as in-depth learning on the history of the Holocaust using the Museum as a classroom and hands-on sessions with classroom-ready resources and strategies.
Studying the Holocaust and human behaviour allows students to wrestle with the profound moral questions this history raises while fostering their skills in ethical and moral reasoning, critical analysis, empathy, and civic engagement—all of which are critical habits of mind for sustaining democracy.
