Facing History and Ourselves is an international professional development organisation that equips teachers and young people with skills that allow them to wrestle with today’s difficult issues through the lens of history. By studying the historical development of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.
