This online course demonstrates the utilization of Holocaust Denial and Distortion to foment antisemitism. Participants will gain a crucial understanding of how antisemitic tropes and hate speech related to the Holocaust are weaponized and learn research-backed strategies to challenge students to think critically and empower them to recognize and reject antisemitic hate speech.

This is the perfect online course for educators looking for guidance on teaching about the Holocaust denial and distortion.

 In this dynamic online course, offered in partnership between Echoes & Reflections and The Defiant Requiem Foundation, educators will explore how Jews continued to live creative and artistic lives against the backdrop of the Holocaust. By exploring the experience of Jews forcibly interned in the Terezin/Theresienstadt ghetto, participants will learn how these individuals used music, art, and other forms of creative expression as cultural and spiritual resistance in defiance of the Nazis who sought to dehumanize them.

How did the Jews resist oppression in the Terezin ghetto? What can we learn from their perseverance under these circumstances? In this asynchronous online course, educators examine the creation of the Terezin ghetto, the role of resistance, and how the prisoner performances of Verdi's Requiem inspired individuals then and now.
