Resource Manual on Holocaust Education

The State of Florida Department of Education commissioned the Center to write the first statewide resource manuals on Holocaust studies for grades 9-12, K-3, and 4-6. These manuals, plus the manuals for grades 7-8, have been distributed to all private, public, and parochial schools in the state of Florida.

They are available to teachers in CD-ROM form and can also be downloaded here for educational use.
