Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons Act This bill directs the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to study and report on Holocaust education efforts in states, local educational agencies (LEAs), and public elementary and secondary schools. Among other elements, the study must (1) determine whether states and LEAs require Holocaust education as part of the curriculum taught in public elementary and secondary schools, (2) identify the standards and requirements relating to Holocaust education, and (3) identify the types of instructional material used to teach students about the Holocaust.
Requires the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to study and report on how states, school districts, and public schools teach Holocaust education. The study must document which states and districts mandate Holocaust instruction, what educational standards they use, and what teaching materials are employed.
This establishes a baseline for Holocaust curriculum practices across the country. The findings could inform future legislation mandating Holocaust education or standardizing how the Holocaust is taught in schools — including what definition of antisemitism (such as the IHRA definition) accompanies that instruction.
