Seminar Learning from the Past

Relevance and enrichments of Dachau educational programs

This seminar focuses on the relevance of the various educational opportunities at the memorial site Dachau (Germany) for Dutch teachers and students. Members of the Dutch Dachau Committee and educators of the Max Mannheimer Study Center will explain how a visit to the memorial site and these educational programs can enrich Dutch education about the Second World War and how teachers and students can use these methods to discuss current social problems regarding racism and discrimination. Moreover, the Dutch Dachau Committee will provide practical information about the conditions for (financial) support for Dutch schools to participate in the educational programs of the Max Mannheimer Study Center. Furthermore, we invite teachers and students to share their experiences on the extent to which it was an enrichment for them to learn about National-Socialism on the memorial site Dachau or other Dutch memorial sites.
