Abstract

The Holocaust has been in Chile as in the rest of the continent, one of the most traditional ways of facing the issue of human rights; In education, as well as in memory policies, speaking of human rights violations implies making a reference to what happened in Europe in 1940.

This, from the perspective of formal education, has made it possible, in the case of Chile, to talk about human rights without necessarily going through our own recent history. This situation is possibly due to the fact that the school curriculum was until 2016 a conservative project. That year, the Ministry of Education promoted the Citizen Training Law that put into discussion What and how do we teach human rights? which made it possible to review the teaching of the Holocaust as the only reference, positioning the contents of "Dictatorship", "Human Rights Violations", "Memory" and "citizenship".
