The first resource specifically for teaching about genocide at the high school level in Quebec is now available in English.

Unlike the French version launched last year, Studying Genocide is only available online for now, and not in printed form. It is the only material currently available covering 20th-century genocides, including the Holocaust, a subject that is not mandatory in Quebec schools.

Both versions are the fruit of many years of effort by Heidi Berger, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. She was appalled by the lack of knowledge of the Holocaust among Quebec high school students and inadequate materials for teachers who wanted to include the complex and sensitive subject of genocide in their curricula.
