Germany’s Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs has approved a new agreement with Yad Vashem. The partners plan to strengthen Holocaust education in teacher training and expand professional development for educators.
Schools, universities, memorial sites and museums are expected to work more closely with Yad Vashem. The agreement also covers Jewish life in the past and present, as well as different forms of antisemitism.
The partners also aim to address the spread of antisemitic content and distorted accounts of the Holocaust online. They plan to preserve historically verified knowledge and strengthen media literacy. Yad Vashem’s digital materials will be made available in German for education, research and culture.
