NCCAT: Teaching the Holocaust: Resources and Reflections
Applications due September 18, 2026
Teaching the Holocaust: Resources and Reflections — DC Seminar, November 8–13, 2026
The NC Council on the Holocaust Fall seminar in DC will be November 8 – 13, 2026. We are giving preference to those who are newer to teaching about the Holocaust. An essay is required for placement consideration (between 300 and 500 words; use your own words and avoid AI tools). Designed for educators teaching students in 6th through 12th grade. For current NC Public School classroom teachers only. To allow others the opportunity to participate, individuals who attended previously will not be eligible for this year's trip. The aim of this program is to gain an understanding of the precursors, events, and consequences of the Holocaust and to grapple with the problem of how best to convey this history and the meaning that it can have in the lives and civic practices of our students. We will explore the exhibits and resources of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. (Two participants to a room. Participants must be physically able to walk 1 mile over level ground, stand for extended periods, and ride for up to 8 hours on an excursion bus without detriment to their health.) Four days of substitute teacher costs are covered (up to $125 per day) thanks to the North Carolina Holocaust Foundation and the Jewish Federation of Charlotte, as well as double occupancy hotel room (no exceptions) and out of state per-diem for meals.

Gizella Abramson Holocaust Education Act — New Curriculum Resources (Grades 6–12)
With the dramatic rise in antisemitism, the Gizella Abramson Holocaust and Genocide curriculum has been designed to take students through the lessons of the Holocaust and apply them to the world of today. This legislation expects English and Social Studies teachers in grades 6–12 to begin integrating teaching about the Holocaust, topics related to histories connecting to the Holocaust, and genocide in their courses. This act also directs the Department of Public Instruction and the NC Council on the Holocaust to create curriculum resources and support the teaching of the Holocaust in these grades and subjects.
