The H.K. Barker Center for Economic Education’s 2nd annual Teacher Study Tour in Global Economic Education took area educators to Germany and Poland to learning about the economics and science of hate. Participants used the Holocaust as a case study to better understand and confront hate in all its forms. Students applied principles and foundations in economic and science education. In economic education, learners studied how political choices influence economic outcomes; with a focus towards identity, expropriation, and extermination in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. In science education, learners engaged in a critical analysis of false and doubtful assertions made by Nazi leaders in the name of science before and during WWII. In particular, students investigated Nazi Germany’s use of pseudoscience and eugenics as a means to ‘improve’ the genetic quality of the human population.
