For almost two decades, the U.S. Department of State, in cooperation with the Association of Holocaust Organizations (AHO) in New York, has helped to organize the Holocaust Teacher Training Program. To date, this initiative has brought over 350 teachers from approximately thirteen countries to United States, including 32 teachers from Slovakia.
This one-week seminar in the United States exposes teachers to new and innovative methods of teaching the Holocaust and creates opportunities for them to interact with other teachers addressing this difficult subject.
