Holocaust education in the non-Western world

Education about the Holocaust is a key objective of the Aladdin Project and we have been working with UNESCO and the United Nations Outreach Program to enhance the tools of Holocaust education for children in the non-Western world. Offering his organization’s patronage to the Aladdin Project at its launch conference, then-UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura expressed hope that the initiative “will lead to the lasting reinforcement of the instruments of education for peace and tolerance.”
The General Conference of UNESCO adopted a resolution in October 2009, instructing UNESCO to work on “elaboration and promotion of educational materials for teaching the memory of the Holocaust that could be used by educational institutions, teachers, pupils and students. The organization will establish a platform for access to educational resources on the memory of the Holocaust.”
