Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons Act

# Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons Act (HR 768) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to conduct a comprehensive study on how the Holocaust is currently being taught in American public schools. The study would examine whether states and school districts require Holocaust education, what educational standards they use, and what materials teachers are using to teach students about the Holocaust and antisemitism. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects public elementary and secondary schools across the country, as well as state education departments and local school districts. Students would potentially benefit if the findings lead to improved or more consistent Holocaust education.

The bill also assigns work to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, which would conduct the study. **Current Status** HR 768 was introduced by Representative Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill has not advanced to a vote as of now.
