Some 20 participants from China, Hong Kong and Macau entered the Holocaust Memorial Museum on Monday for an intensive seminar on the events that resulted in the genocide of six million Jews – and how to educate their students on the subject. The course is being conducted under the auspices of Yad VaShem’s International School for Holocaust Studies, which offers dozens of seminars annually for educators around the world. The school produces educational material in numerous languages.
As part of the course, the educators will tour the Holocaust History Museum and the Valley of the Communities among other sites. They will also attend lectures from top educators and historians on various topics relating to the Nazi genocide and will meet with those who survived."
