Holocaust education is mandatory in Palm Beach County schools – the 10th largest school district in the country. But the curriculum is now being expanded to include Jewish history, identity, and peoplehood.
This week on mosaic, Dara Horn, award-winning author, and Kim Coombs, Program Planner of Holocaust Studies and Jewish History for The School District of Palm Beach County, discuss why this enhanced curriculum matters and why Palm Beach County was chosen as the testing ground.
mosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's weekly TV news magazine show, exploring Jewish topics that affect the local and global communities. Hosted by community leader Susan Shulman Pertnoy, mosaic airs weekly from January to March.
