75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the distance in time may give us a false sense of comfort that lessons have been learned, that history will not be repeated. Yet the narratives that led to the Holocaust are re-emerging, reinvented for the 21st century. Now more than ever, it is imperative to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust reach new generations, minds and hearts in classrooms across the world. Teachers and teacher training are the first line of defense in the fight for democracy, human rights and our collective future. We sat down with Andrew Beiter and Kate W. English to talk about Holocaust education and their work on 4 continents with the Educators' Institute for Human Rights.
