Established in 1993, the International School for Holocaust Studies organizes educational programs and produces educational materials for a variety of target populations and educational organizations in Israel and abroad. More than 100 staff members work together with thousands of teachers, students, soldiers and pupils each year to promote Holocaust education and remembrance. Holocaust education as defined and developed by the International School is multi-disciplinary, multi-faceted and multi-directional, focusing on how individuals lived before, during and after the Holocaust as well as the "choiceless choices" they were forced to confront during this period.
The International School for Holocaust Studies is the only school of its kind in the world and our staff is firmly committed to Holocaust education. We believe that it is our mission to enrich the knowledge of educators from around the world as well as to provide them with pedagogical guidelines and age-appropriate tools on how to teach this difficult subject matter.
Our interdisciplinary approach to Holocaust education - through art, music, literature, theology and drama - allows students to gain a broader understanding of what happened during this period.
