Educators are invited to enrol in an all-day seminar at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum. Holocaust education permeates many areas of the school curriculum, among them history, literature, theology, ethics, media, drama and psychology. In 2012 Holocaust education will also be incorporated into the Commonwealth’s national schools’ history curriculum.
