Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Guatemalan government partners with the local Jewish community to launch an educational project to study the Holocaust.
The initiative led by Ministry of Education and the local Jewish community intends to promote the values of tolerance and respect and to provide teachers with both content and tools for their didactic practices, reports the La Hora newspaper.
