RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS
Yad Vashem’s International School for Holocaust Studies (ISHS), established in 1993, provides quality Holocaust education to diverse audiences from Israel and around the world. The ISHS trains educators to teach the Holocaust, develops pedagogic and didactic tools to be utilized by teachers, and conducts educational workshops for youth from Israel and abroad. The ISHS has developed a unique multi-disciplinary educational philosophy, based upon teaching the Holocaust in an age-appropriate manner. Educators are taught to bring their students safely in and out of the learning environment with the use of age and level appropriate materials to support the learning process.
The International School for Holocaust Studies uses an interdisciplinary approach to Holocaust education, utilizing art, music, literature, theology, and drama, to allow students to connect to the subject matter and to gain a broader understanding of what happened during this period.
