The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is partnering with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) to expand the availability of Holocaust educational resources in schools.
The partnership will also see ADL working with school libraries to increase Holocaust education in American schools, and to also address bullying.
The two organizations will collaborate on “raising awareness of anti-bias education,” providing schools with the opportunity to engage with ADL’s No Place for Hate framework. The collaboration will also offer Holocaust education support to “empower staff and students in K-12 schools with effective strategies for addressing bias and bullying.”
AASL will also promote ADL’s “No Place for Hate Day” and has pledged to recruit 20 new No Place for Hate schools nationwide, which ADL said will directly impact 14,000 students with anti-bias programming during the 2023 and 2024 school years.
“We are honored to partner with the American Association of School Librarians to help make our schools safer and more inclusive environments for students,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said. “We’re excited to work with AASL to support librarians with the necessary resources to advance anti-bias and Holocaust education in schools and communities.”
