Holocaust Remembrance Week 2022

Established in 2013, K through 12 students in Texas must receive Holocaust instruction during the week that includes January 27. This week was chosen because on January 27, 1945, was the day that the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland was “liberated” by Allied troops during WWII.

Teachers have a variety of lessons and activities they can incorporate during this week based on their core subject and the ages of the students. Some classes will read excerpts from The Diary of Anne Frank, others will perform research on the topic.

At UT-UCS, our University High School (UHS) campus is reading Night by Nobel Prize Winner Elie Wiesel. At just 102 pages, this book is the power-packed personal account of a 15-year-old surviving not one, but four concentration camps during the last year of WWII. UHS teacher LaMar Tipton said: “Not only does Elie Wiesel’s Night humanize the Holocaust, but it also manages to include multiple themes for such a short book: love, innocence, family, courage, and perhaps most importantly, resilience.”
