Despite the recognized atrocities of the Holocaust, anti-semitism continues. The 11th and final installment of the Teaching the Holocaust series explores the long-term effects of the Holocaust on modern anti-semitism, asking pupils to consider how they would respond to incidents in their communities. The two-lesson set includes activities exploring modern statistics, image analysis, and discussion questions.
