Media Literacy in Holocaust Education: How Newspapers Covered the Anti-Jewish Boycott

In this workshop, educators will learn strategies to blend media literacy into their Holocaust units. Using newspaper coverage of the Anti-Jewish Boycott on April 1, 1933, as a model, participants will gain tools and techniques to introduce students to how to read newspapers, and to consider how and why different news outlets cover stories differently. Using USHMM’s History Unfolded resource as well as accessible digital archives, educators will leave the workshop prepared to explore a range of Holocaust topics with their students via historical newspapers.

Workshop Includes:

• 1.5 CPDU Hours
