The state of Missouri created this commission a few years
ago. For the last year or so, I have been “unofficially” attending the
commission meetings. The committee members include DESE representatives, active
and retired teachers, university professors, private citizens, and
representatives from the Holocaust Museum &
Learning Center in St. Louis.
"The goals of the Missouri Holocaust Education and
Awareness Commission include:
Providing
support to Missouri teachers in teaching the Holocaust
Publicizing
events related to Holocaust education and remembrance
Preserving
the legacy of Holocaust survivors in Missouri”
The website is a work in progress, but there are valuable
links and information about related events and activities that would be of
interest to you and your students. I encourage you to visit the site every month or so to
watch it develop and learn more about the commission and its efforts. It’s an
important step in supporting Holocaust education in the state of Missouri.
