In 1994, the Florida Legislature passed the Holocaust Education Bill (SB 660), requiring all school districts to incorporate lessons on the Holocaust as part of public school instruction. The mandate, Florida Statute 1003.42(f), reads:
"The history of the Holocaust (1933-1945), the systematic planned annihilation of European Jews and other groups by Nazi Germany, a watershed event in the history of humanity, to be taught in a manner that leads to an investigation of human behavior, an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping, and an examination of what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purposes of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions."
The Holocaust Memorial is committed to supporting this mandate with comprehensive resources for educators to use as part of their curriculum:
