The Home Front
This program supports the implementation of state social studies requirements within Kentucky classrooms. It follows a trend of providing teachers with structured, primary-source materials to meet regional educational mandates.
Parents interested in the curriculum should consult with their local school administration to ask if the district is utilizing these new archival resources. Families can also review the materials available through the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center to better understand the classroom context.
The takeaway
This resource bridges the gap between historical abstract study and regional survivor testimony. Parents can encourage local educators to inquire about the subsidy application process to bring these archival materials into the classroom.
