The Stan Greenspon Center for Peace and Social Justice

www.stangreensponcenter.org

One of the foundational missions of the Stan Greenspon Center is to educate and inform all people about the complex history of the Holocaust and how that history continues to affect our world today. We work diligently to provide teacher education, school programs, and community events to engage all ages in this topic.

Echoes and Reflections 

www.echoesandreflections.org​

Courses by Echoes and Reflections (sponsored by the Anti Defamation League, Yad Vashem and the USC Shoah Foundation) are free of charge.  Echoes & Reflections empowers middle and high school educators with dynamic classroom materials and professional development. Offered and listed on their website is a powerfully-packed schedule of free year-round webinars, online courses, and in-person programs and other resources to help educators gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to effectively teach students about the holocaust.  For information, see echoesandreflections.org.​

​The Advanced Learning Summer Seminar 2025

The Advanced Learning Seminar is a summer Seminar at Yad Vashem organized by Echoes & Reflections. This seminar usually takes place in Israel. However due to the current war it has been (at least for now) to Poland.

If you are a teacher who uses Echoes in the classroom, then you could be eligible. We should have fuller details for the seminar by the end of the year, along with applications. If you're interested, check back. If you're more interested in a program in Israel with Echoes, those may take longer to arrange.

New curriculum resources (Grades 6-12) to support the Gizella Abramson Holocaust Education Act for both ELA and Social Studies teachers

​With the dramatic rise in antisemitism, not only around the world, but also right here in North Carolina, and with a thirty percent increase in antisemitic incidents just in 2022, 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. Educators will teach students the reasons why we must work to combat the rise in hatred, whether it be across the street or around the world.

This legislation, named after Holocaust survivor Gizella Abramson, 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 in August of 2023. 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, as well as to identify standards in both ELA and Social Studies that connect to teaching topics related to the Holocaust and other genocides.

Additionally, this legislation provides for the creation of an optional elective course on the Holocaust, which will be offered beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.
