Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons Act

H.R. 768, the Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons Act, would require the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to conduct a comprehensive study of Holocaust education across American schools. The study would examine whether states and local school districts require Holocaust education as part of their curriculum, identify existing standards and requirements for teaching about the Holocaust, and document what instructional materials schools currently use to teach students about this historical period.

If enacted, this bill would not directly change what schools teach, but rather would gather information about current Holocaust education practices nationwide. The findings from the Holocaust Memorial Museum's study could potentially inform future policy discussions about education standards. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in January 2025 and referred to committee for consideration.
