The Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre provides comprehensive education programmes for Grade 8-12 learners across Gauteng and neighbouring provinces, enhancing their study of Holocaust history as mandated by the National Curriculum. All programme topics relate to human rights awareness and draw on lessons from the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which specifically address the Grade 9 Social Science, as well as Grade 11 History curricula and promote cross-curricular teaching opportunities more generally.
Our programmes have all been specifically developed to teach about the consequences of prejudice, racism and discrimination, and to promote an understanding of the dangers of indifference, apathy and silence.
