Model Curriculum for Human Rights and Genocide

This curriculum by the Calif. Dept. of Educ. is based on the concern for human rights as a major element in the History-Social Science Framework for Calif. Public School, K through Grade 12. It is urgent for educators in the field of history & social science to teach students about the importance of human rights & to analyze with them the actual instances in which genocide -- the ultimate violation of human rights -- has been committed. We study the atrocities of the past not only to preserve their significance as historical events but also to help identify ways to prevent the atrocities from ever happening again. Appendices cover genocide in: Armenia; Ukraine; Jewish People; Poles during World War II; Argentina; Cambodia; & South Africa.Dyke, Perry is the author of 'Model Curriculum for Human Rights and Genocide' with ISBN 9780756727154 and ISBN 0756727154.
