Why Do We...
remember tragedies like the Holocaust when it would be less
painful to forget? Most survivors believe that we must acknowl-
edge the mass genocide of six million Jews so that we don’t let
similar events happen again. Well, since Adolf Hitler established
a systematic method to “purify” Nazi Germany, we’ve had Cam-
bodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. It’s easy to say “never forget,”
but these are just words until we rid the world of the kind of
intolerance Hitler’s regime represented.
STILL, IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER,
so that we understand the human faces of the
Holocaust. Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day,
in which schools around the world will remember
the millions who died in the Holocaust, as well as
the many more who survived.

Technology Has
Impacted..
the classroom in numerous ways, including how teachers present this import-
ant information to students. We believe that digital tools make it easier—not
harder—for students to learn about the Holocaust, and have come up with
creative ways that educators can use technology to teach about this important
chapter in human history.

8 Ways to Teach
the Holocaust:1. Video Stream Survivor Testimonies with Skype
A Catholic school in Minnesota recently broadcasted Holocaust survivor Steen
Metz’s story to their student body, and they used video conferencing software
Skype to make this happen. Many survivors are elderly and unable to travel, or
live in different places throughout the world. Skype enables survivors to share
their testimonies anyway.
2. Use Periscope to Present Guest Lectures
At universities around the world, there are highly respected academics who
specialize in Holocaust Studies. What if a high school teacher wanted one of
these academics to share important information to her students, but couldn’t
get the academic to come in person? Periscope is a live streaming app that
would allow this academic to present a guest lecture from a separate location.

3. Integrate Ted Talks into your Intranet
There are a number of provocative Ted Talks about topics related to the Holo-
caust, such as Paul Bloom’s “Can prejudice ever be a good thing” and Gordon
Brown’s “Global ethic. vs. national interest.” These Ted Talks can be integrated
into a classroom’s intranet, and are bound to start a stimulating discussion.
4. Have Students Collaborate on OneNote
One way to teach about the Holocaust is to have a group of students create a
memorial. Collaboration software like OneNote will allow them to share im-
portant information outside of class.

5. Stream Classic Holocaust Movies to Compliment Readings
Of course, students should read the canonical texts of the Holocaust, but this
won’t be enough. To compensate for textbooks, teachers can upload Holocaust
movies like Schindler’s List (1993) or The Pianist (2002) to the classroom’s in-
tranet for students to watch on their own time.
6. Take a Virtual Tour of Holocaust Museums
While it would be ideal to take students to Holocaust museums, some schools
don’t have the budget, and others are just too far away. Rather than give up
all together, teachers can arrange virtual tours of museums, like The Holocaust
Memorial Center in Michigan.

7. Assign Group Presentations on Sway
Want your students to present an important Holocaust topic that wasn’t cov-
ered in class? Sway allows users to create and share interactive presentations,
which will undoubtedly lead to some profound discussions.
8. Embed YouTube Videos to Engage Students
There are a plethora of fascinating YouTube videos about the Holocaust that
can spark a dialogue, such as “Why Do People Still Deny The Holocaust?”
Teachers can assign these videos as a homework assignment and have students
come prepared to discuss the next day.

The lessons of the Holocaust aren’t pleasant, but they are important,
and every citizen of the world should learn them. Technology enhances the
classroom experience, and can help remind students about the Holocaust
on this important day.
