Facing History and Ourselves is a leader in history and civic education. Our published and online resources, professional development and support for educators, and community events provide opportunities for people of all ages to understand how human behavior and individual choice play a critical role in shaping society.
For more than 30 years, we have been helping teachers and students make the connection between history and their own lives. We offer content and teaching strategies that promote student engagement, critical thinking, and deeper understanding of the lessons of history. Through a rigorous investigation of the events that led to the Holocaust and other key moments in history, students learn to combat prejudice with compassion, indifference with participation, and misinformation with knowledge.
Facing History has grown from an innovative course taught in a single classroom to an international organization with nine offices in North America, an international hub in London, and partnerships that span the globe. We support a network of more than 50,000, and educators who have participated in in-depth training reach an estimated 1.9 million students each year.
