A primary charge of the Baltimore Jewish Council (BJC) is to organize teacher-training workshops for public, private and parochial school teachers in order to promote effective Holocaust education throughout the state of Maryland. The BJC in collaboration with The Jewish Museum of Maryland offers its services to arrange workshops both locally and at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Both historical topics and pedagogy are covered in the training sessions. We encourage schools to contact us for help in providing their teachers the tools to teach the lessons of the Holocaust.

Our workshops represent a serious and on-going effort to present educators with factual information from scholarly research on the basic history of the Shoah, methodology for effective teaching of the Holocaust, and resources for classroom teachers. The Baltimore Jewish Council has been involved in Holocaust education for the past 15 years.
