The Structure of the Framework Curricula objectives, tasks; educational and development goals; development requirements; topics; concepts; expected outcomes of development.
The Holocaust in the History Framework CurriculumThe topic of the Holocaust appears primarily in the History, social and civic education curriculum.
The curriculum also presents the steps leading to the Holocaust:strengthening extremism (Europe and Hungary);the spread and takeover of National Socialism (Germany);laws justifying discrimination and exclusion (Germany and Hungary).
The following examples focus on the direct appearance of the topic of the Holocaust (in the thematic unit of World War II).
Objectives, tasks (Grades 9-12)
„To improve historical empathy and critical thinking it is important to discuss the themes of 20th century genocides (e.g. the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Yugoslav Wars) and mass tragedies as well as the individual fates behind them. It is important to learn about different ways of individual and organised opposition during genocides, wars and dictatorships and to form opinions on personal attitudes towards them. ”
Educational and development goals (Grades 5-8) Pupils recognise different forms of social
exclusion, aware of its consequences they reject racism.
Pupils realise the causes leading to destructive wars, parts of which are the holocaust and genocides.
To learn about the topic pupils rely on resources available in public collections (possibly also on materials of the Holocaust Memorial Centre).
Educational and development goals (Grades 9-12) Students reject discrimination and racism with all its
consequencies (deprivation of civil rights, exclusion, deportation, extermination).
Students know how much loss of life, destruction the Second World War brought about and that the Holocaust is the tragedy of the humanity and the whole Hungarian nation.
Students realize that the Jewish artists, scientists, inventors forced into exile (e.g. Neumann, Teller, Szilárd, Rejtő, Radnóti, Szerb) should be interpreted as a loss for the country.
Students understand that 20th century genocides based on exclusion could not have taken place without the active or passive support of the social majority and their apathy. This is verified – in particular – in the case of the Holocaust.
Development requirementsLearning, acquiring knowledge (grades 5-8 and 9-12):
Gaining knowledge by using collections, online databases on the history of the Holocaust (e.g. visit to the Holocaust Memorial Centre or another important memorial site of the Holocaust in Hungary; tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum).
Critical thinking Grades 5-8:
Examining and clarifying the role of political anti-Semitism in the process leading up to the Holocaust.
Grades 9-12:Recognising changes in anti-Jewish legislation, identifying reasons.

The Theme of the Holocaust in TextbooksToday in Hungary, no textbook can be accredited which is not based on the framework curricula, which does not contribute to meeting the output requirements.
As a result, the topic of the Holocaust is not only unavoidable in the law, but is also directly in the curriculum and the textbooks .
Let us see some examples.
Extracts from textbooks(world history) „Racism has been part of Nazi ideology from the beginning[…].” „On top of violating rights […] pogroms appeared […]. And
during the war the methodical elimination of the whole Jewish population of Europe started.”
„The program of the extermination of the Jews, the „final solution” (Endlösung) was developed in Januray 1942 (the Wannsee Program).”
„People categorized as Jews were forced into ghettoes by local authorities, then they were deported to concentration camps in cattle wagons.”
„In a few years more than half of Europe’s Jewish population, almost 6 million people were killed .”
„Another aim of the Nazis was to exterminate the Roma population of Europe: nearly 200 000 Roma were put to death in the gas chambers.”
Text from: Miklós Száray & József Kaposi: History IV. Textbook (Nemzeti Tankönyvkiadó, Budapest, 2006), p. 128-129.

Questions:
Which countries had the greatest number of victims?
Where were the death camps built?
What might explain the fact that mass murders were committed outside the borders of Germany?
Extracts from textbooks(Hungarian history) „Further measures against the Jews followed: they were obliged
to wear yellow stars, then they were forced into ghettoes. The deportation of Jews in the countryside started (mid-May 1944).”
„Due to international protest and news about the opening of the second front Horthy stopped deportations in the summer, but only Jews in Budapest were saved as a result of the measure.”
„[…] the Arrow Cross Party was put into power by the Nazis. […] and they immediately started the extermination of the Jewish population of Budapest.”
„Hungary […] lost almost one million people in the war. Half of the people killed were Jews – deported and executed.”
