 Facing History and Ourselves

Produces many curriculum and films, offers professional develop opportunities including workshops and on-line classes for educators. Website also contains excellent programs and projects for students themselves.

Decision-Making in Times of Injustice

This curriculum is about more than the Holocaust. It's about the reading and the writing and the arithmetic of genocide, but it's also about such R's as rethinking, reflecting, and reasoning. It's about prejudice, discrimination and scapegoating; but it's also about human dignity, morality, law, and citizenship. It's about avoiding and forgetting, but it's also about civic courage and justice. In an age of "back to basics" this curriculum declares that there is one thing more basic, more sacred, than any of the three R's; namely, the sanctity of human life.
