The Northwest
Center for Holocaust, Genocide and Ethnocide Education
is a project at Western Washington University, begun in September of 1998,
to assist educators in the design and implementation of Holocaust, genocide
and ethnocide-related
studies and is dedicated to remembering and learning from the past in order
to promote the human rights of all people. The NWCHGEE's initiatives and
activities are consistent with House Bill 2212, which states:
 |
Every public high school is encouraged
to include in its curriculum, instruction on the events of the period in
modern world history known as the Holocaust, during which six million Jews
and millions of non-Jews were exterminated. The instruction may also include
other examples from both ancient and modern history where subcultures or
large human populations have been eradicated by the acts of mankind. The
studying of this material is a reaffirmation of the commitment of free peoples
never again to permit such occurrences....
