Maryland does not have legislations requiring Holocaust education; however, State School Superintendent Karen Salmon said in October 2019 state officials would work with Maryland’s 24 schools systems to ensure teachers had opportunities to provide “the tools necessary to teach the Holocaust with confidence.”
Holocaust education is recommended but not required in Pennsylvania schools; nevertheless, more than 90% of school districts in the state were incorporating coursework on the subject as of 2017.
In 2020, Congress adopted the Never Again Education Act, which expands the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s (USHMM) education programming to teachers nationwide, requiring the museum to develop and disseminate resources to improve awareness and understanding of the Holocaust and its lessons.
