piece of legislation passed in 2014 that strongly
recommended the teaching of Holocaust education
in Pennsylvania schools and provided resources
for teachers. She said Holocaust educators were
asked to weigh in when the legislation was being
crafted, which played a big role in strengthening
Pennsylvania students’ Holocaust knowledge.

“I do want to give a particular shout out to
Sally Flaherty, who worked for the Department of
Education at the time,” Boyette said. “She ran the
Act 70 Advisory Committee, and she was deeply
committed to Holocaust education, and Holocaust,
genocide, human rights violation, education in
Pennsylvania, and very purposeful in working with
the committee. The infrastructure provided by the
Department of Education made a huge difference.”
“You can have a state that mandates
Holocaust education but does not offer
preparation or resources for teachers to
study and to explore and to give them
support so that when they go into the
classroom they present the subject in
the most appropriate way. “Just because
something’s being mandated doesn’t
mean it’s done well.”

trainings on presenting content in age-appropriate
ways and connecting the events of the Holocaust to
other civil rights topics.

Josey Fisher, director of the Holocaust Oral
History Archive and instructor in Holocaust and
genocide studies at Gratz College, was also on the
advisory committee for Act 70. She said the legisla-
tion focused on teacher preparedness and support.

“You can have a state that mandates Holocaust
education but does not offer preparation or
resources for teachers to study and to explore
and to give them support so that when they go
into the classroom they present the subject in the
most appropriate way,” Fisher said. “Just because
something’s being mandated doesn’t mean it’s done

Holocaust education initiatives that predated Act
70, including Echoes & Reflections, an educational
