The International School for Holocaust Studies has launched its first online course in English entitled: “At the Edge of the Abyss: The Holocaust of European Jewry.” This new course enhances the global reach of the School, providing an opportunity for educators, students and professionals worldwide to engage in its educational resources and communicate with each other, creating a rich academic discourse.

Formulated by experts from various fields at Yad Vashem, the course explores the issues, dilemmas and history of the Holocaust, from a wide range of perspectives. It is comprised of five sections: Jewish life throughout Europe during the two hundred years prior to the war; Germany: 1918-1939; Jewish life in the ghettos; The Final Solution; and Commemoration and remembrance. Each section comprises 10 fortnightly lessons composed from educational materials, readings and assignments.
