A picture of a lit candle with a book that has a picture of Aushwitz Concentration Camp posed in front of a barbed wire fence and watch tour, reading "Holocaust Education Week."

In Florida, Holocaust Education Week occurs each year during the second week of November. It honors the anniversary of Kristallnacht, which occurred on November 9–10, 1938. This is a time to remember the six million Jewish people and millions of others murdered during the Holocaust. We also honor the survivors. Learning from this history helps us understand where prejudice and hate can lead. This week, we join schools across Florida in remembering and recommitting to kindness, respect, and standing up for one another.
