UNESCO encourages Member States to develop programmes that strengthen a culture of prevention and foster understanding of the causes and consequences of the Holocaust and how genocide can happen so that young people become more aware of the processes that can lead societies to descend into violence. Education about the Holocaust and other cases of genocide in history can be a means to foster the knowledge, skills and behaviours that will help learners become critical thinkers, and active global citizens who value human dignity, reject antisemitism, racism and other forms of prejudice that can lead to group-targeted violence and genocide.

The UNESCO GCED Clearinghouse contains the largest database to date of education materials and research pertaining to education about the Holocaust or other genocides.
