Lessons on the Holocaust are taking place this month in schools in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties through the Sun Sentinel's News in Education program.

Thanks to funding from LEAH, the League for Educational Awareness of the Holocaust, the newspaper will print 100,000 copies of a student workbook titled The Holocaust: We Are Witnesses to area middle and high schools, said Debbie Rahamim, the Sun Sentinel's NIE manager.

The workbook, available for the past five years, traces the rise and fall of the Nazis, concentration camps, and other topics.

Florida school districts are required to provide Holocaust education, and LEAH officials say on their website that their organization "fills the gap between the Florida state mandate for Holocaust education in public schools, and provides the funding to make it happen."
