Tune in this spring as student reporters and National WWII Museum educators lead classrooms across the country on an emotional journey around the globe to critically examine the vital histories of the Holocaust and World War II during the Museum’s Holocaust Electronic Field Trip. Designed for students in grades 5–12, this free interactive webcast will help students discover the broader context of the Holocaust by understanding how it happened and recognizing its tragic legacy. 

Nazi Germany waged a war to dominate the European continent—and exterminate its Jewish population. The Holocaust Electronic Field Trip will examine the social and political conditions that led to the Holocaust, stories of resistance and survival, and why this lived history is still relevant today. Students participating in this program will have the opportunity to explore Holocaust sites across the Atlantic as well as the galleries of the Museum’s new Liberation Pavilion, which focuses on the end of the war and the Holocaust. Watch the trailer for this Electronic Field Trip here.

Part 1 of the Holocaust Electronic Field Trip will be available on-demand starting March 18. Part 2 will be broadcast live in two sessions on March 26 at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. CT. Entire classrooms can get involved in the live broadcast by submitting questions in real time to Museum educators and experts. Register for the Holocaust Electronic Field Trip here.
