AI Summary
This bill requires the Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to conduct a comprehensive national study on Holocaust education in the United States. The study will examine Holocaust education efforts across all states, a representative sample of local educational agencies, and public elementary and secondary schools. The research will investigate whether Holocaust education is mandatory or optional in school curricula, identify state and local educational agency standards, and explore the methods and challenges of teaching about the Holocaust. Key elements of the study will include determining instructional approaches, types of educational materials used, disciplines where Holocaust education is taught, time allocated to the subject, and methods for assessing student learning about the Holocaust, antisemitism, and genocide. The Director will prepare a detailed report for Congress within three years of the bill's enactment, which will provide insights into the current state of Holocaust education in the United States. The bill defines Holocaust education as activities specifically designed to improve students' awareness and understanding of the Holocaust, teach lessons about preventing genocide and hate, and study the historical context of antisemitism. The study aims to identify gaps in Holocaust education and recommend resources and training to support educators in teaching this critical historical topic.
