This document outlines the curriculum for a two month Holocaust psychology seminar at a high school in Pilsen, Czech Republic. The seminar covers topics like Jewish traditions, the Nuremberg Laws, life in concentration camps like Terezin and Auschwitz, transports between camps, survivors' testimonies, Holocaust literature and films. Students work in groups to research and present on different topics, and engage in activities like interpreting children's poems from Terezin and identifying victims and offenders in photos. The seminar culminates with student reflections on what they have learned about the Holocaust. The program has been running successfully for years and sometimes includes additional topics or out-of-school activities like visits to Holocaust memorial sites.
