Webb said
that the
Holocaust had been chosen
for the curriculum because.
"in this tragic chapter in
human history. the intent
and scope of mass murder
are unprecedented." He
said the Holocaust was "a
painful subject for young
people and their teachers"
and that "it is almost too
serious for classroom_
study." .-
Yet the horror of genocide
in the 20th Century must be
faced. and the story must be
told so that students of all
races and religions in our
public schools can under-
stand the danger con-
fronting all peoples when
hurhan rights are denied to
any one people "
Volume I of the curricu-

including the position of the
Jews in Eurpoe before
World.War II: the Nazi rise

of German society by rac-
ism and anti-Semitism and

tribute to a more humane
world.
Aiello and Anker said that
the subject of Nazi per-
secution of European Jews
is often only touched on in
history and other social
studies courses.
The new curriculum. of
which 1.500 copies were pre-
pared. is scheduled for dis-
tribution to all of the city's
100 high schools by the end
of the month. Its goal. they
said. is to enable teachers to
extend the study of the
Holocaust.
Aiello said that. after the
initial year of experimenta-
tion. in which the curricu-
lum will be applied in all
history and other social
studies courses, he would
like to have the board and
the chancellor arrange for a

weeks of study of the
Holocaust in the city school
system
This would involve the
State Board of Regents. it
was-noted. since the Board_
of Education is under state
control.
The spokesman said the
school system must abide
by_minimum requirements
set by the state but can
mandate additional require-
ments. He cited a manda-
tory course in economics
which is not part of the
'state mandated course of
study.
The spokesman said that if
Holocaust study is made a
mandatory course—presum-
ably for the 1978-79 school
year—this will be done in
the form of integrating
appropriate elements of the
curriculum into history and
social studies courses.
He said it did not mean
that students would be
required to take courses
devoted entirely.to,- the
Holocaust.
