Abstract/Summary: 

This paper describes recent developments in the field of history education and human rights education in Morocco. Educational reform in Morocco is ongoing and includes measures such as mandating that all schools create after-school Human Rights Clubs. These developments are then related to the possibility of teaching about the history of the Holocaust within this particular context. As a case study, this paper examines some of the challenges encountered by the Anne Frank House in its attempts to work on Holocaust-related issues in Morocco.
