What role did teachers play in the Holocaust? Under the Third Reich, teachers were obligated to join the National Socialist Teacher’s League and take an oath to Adolf Hitler. Despite these obligations, though, teachers were still able to make individual choices…complying with Nazi ideology or acting in opposition. This program will combine the pressures teachers felt working under the Nazi regime, the range of decisions individuals made in the face of those pressures, and the relevance of that history now. We will combine this history with the ways propaganda influenced the lives of these teachers as well as the lives of their students. Best practices will examine ways teachers can help their students examine propaganda through Nazi racism.
