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....
