Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education

Bonus Episode: The Aftermath of the Maus Controversy

15 Feb 2022

Description

Amidst rising anti-Semitism, Holocaust education recently made nationwide headlines after a school board in Tennessee voted to remove the Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel Maus from its curriculum. In this episode, Professor Ben Jacobs of George Washington University breaks down why this change sparked such controversy. Together, he and David Bryfman explore the state of Holocaust education in secular and Jewish schools, historically and today, and why the medium of a graphic novel is so conducive to transmitting the horrors of the Shoah to a new, digitally minded generation. Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education is a production of The Jewish Education Project.
