Abstract:
Are you an educator interested in learning about the injustices of the Holocaust to ensure teaching the topic is done with validity and compassion? Do you want to ensure your students understand how freedom can be stolen in the blink of an eye? Do you want to support a future that includes true justice for all? If you answered yes to these questions, then The Scale of Injustice: A Stolen Freedom (Understanding the Impact of the Holocaust) is the course for you. In order to prepare for the future, we must understand the past. The Holocaust was a very somber time in our history that depicted injustice and stole the freedom of innocent Jews. As educators, we must teach the future generation about this tragic time in hopes that history doesn''t repeat itself.
