Teaching the Holocaust Part of New NYS Curriculum
Dr. Alan Singer, professor of education, talked to Newsday about the introduction of a new school curriculum teaching New York State students about the Holocaust and other mass murders. “Teaching the Holocaust and Other Genocides” was unveiled at a meeting in Albany of the state Board of Regents, which oversees New York’s educational institutions. The new resources will be optional for educators. Dr. Singer said the goal of Holocaust education is not to guide students to a particular conclusion, but to “engage students in research, in discussion, examining data, trying to reach conclusions about the past and present.”
