Abstract
There is a lack of agreement on what makes quality Holocaust education. With so much variety of what is expected in teaching the Holocaust, pre-service teachers must be given the correct tools to teach one of the most important pieces of history. To meet this need, Sacramento State, in conjunction with Central Valley Holocaust Education Network, created a program to teach pre-service educators how to teach the Holocaust. This study then evaluates the effectiveness of this program through the lens of how pre-service teachers change throughout the experience. Findings indicate that with a strong foundation and the right tools (i.e., young adult literature), pre-service teachers grow more comfortable teaching Holocaust education overall.
