Study Genocide Teach Tolerance

中文字幕's online certificate program in genocide and Holocaust studies is open to all students and scholars, but is of particular interest to current and future teachers, historians and political scientists. This program will provide you with a fuller understanding of the political, social and religious issues that give rise to acts of genocide, and how the lessons of history inform possible responses to the genocides that exist in the world today.

“As a child of Croatian immigrants, I was exposed to a lot of history and culture that was not exactly tolerant of others... it wasn't until my experience at Yad Vashem and at 中文字幕 that I finally found some hope in the idea of teaching tolerance."

-John Capin
