During this interactive session, we will discuss strategies for implementing Woven Teaching's latest lesson, Beyond the Yellow Star: Human Rights Abuses in Nazi Germany, in your classroom and in distance learning settings. We will also offer practical tips for teaching about genocide ethically and effectively.

About Beyond the Yellow Star:

• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), one of the United Nations’ founding documents, asserts that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and in rights.” The declaration contains thirty articles outlining fundamental rights inherent to every person around the globe. But how can students claim those rights if they do not know what they are?

• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights emerged from the rubble of World War II and the Holocaust. Beyond the Yellow Star: Human Rights Abuses in Nazi Germany is designed to (1) introduce students to international human rights standards and (2) ground the UDHR in the history of the Holocaust.

Students will examine the historical context of the UDHR and have an opportunity to envision a future in which human rights are granted and protected for all people. Understanding the concept of human rights is essential to asserting our rights and the rights of others.
