On 9 November 2011, The EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) and Yad Vashem launch a new educational initiative: the Toolkit on the Holocaust and Human Rights Education in the EU. Three years ago, on 9 November 2008, marking 70 years since the Kristallnacht Pogrom, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and Yad Vashem initiated an educational project to create an online pedagogical tool - a Toolkit on the Holocaust and Human Rights Education.
The toolkit was developed in response to a real educational gap, expressed by both educators and students. Projects and activities in the toolkit combine teaching history lessons, developing empathy with the victims, connecting the knowledge of the Holocaust with that of human rights, deriving implications for today’s world, and empowering students to respect human rights. The projects aim to inspire teachers across the EU to use the toolkit as a basis for exploring and discussing the connections between the Holocaust and human rights and values. Please follow this link to the website.
