The International Educational Conference of 2023, entitled "The Tools of 'Here and Now'
in Teaching about 'Then' - New Technologies in Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust," took place from June 27–29 at the International Center for Education about Auschwitz
and the Holocaust in Oświęcim. Experts from various countries and institutions were invited
to show a broader perspective and attain a better understanding of the impact of new technologies on the education of younger generations worldwide. Enthusiastic participants, museum workers, and teachers from Europe, the USA, Canada, and Australia attended
the conference.
This publication is a summary of what was discussed during the conference. We were committed to covering the issue as broadly as possible, taking into account the psychological and sociological perspective, including the opportunities and threats arising from the use
of new media in education. We hope that joint discussions, debates and an exchange
of experience could help us answer the following questions: Are there any limitations in using new technologies in teaching about genocides? How can we safely use them in education about the Holocaust and the crimes of World War II? What should education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust look like “here and now”?
