Gizella Abramson Holocaust Education Act — New Curriculum Resources (Grades 6–12)
With the dramatic rise in antisemitism, the Gizella Abramson Holocaust and Genocide curriculum has been designed to take students through the lessons of the Holocaust and apply them to the world of today. This legislation expects English and Social Studies teachers in grades 6–12 to begin integrating teaching about the Holocaust, topics related to histories connecting to the Holocaust, and genocide in their courses. This act also directs the Department of Public Instruction and the NC Council on the Holocaust to create curriculum resources and support the teaching of the Holocaust in these grades and subjects.
