Teaching about the Roma Genocide
Inclusion of the topic in the school curriculum
In Canada, there is no federal department of education and no integrated national system of education. The Holocaust is taught in each provincial and territorial jurisdiction as part of the social studies and/or history curriculum, and is sometimes included in English language arts. It is a mandatory part of the curriculum for students of different ages and, as such, reaches all students. Holocaust education can begin as early as the fourth or fifth grades and continues throughout elementary and secondary school. The Holocaust is most often taught within the context of World War II, and is integrated into teaching about racism, genocides and human rights. Furthermore, the Holocaust can also be included in philosophy, anthropology, psychology, arts and religious education, as well as in civic and citizenship studies.
Roma victims of the Nazi persecution are included in the curriculum, as "other victims".
