The HEAL Act asks the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to investigate how Holocaust education is being taught across America. Specifically, the museum will study whether states and school districts require students to learn about the Holocaust, what standards and requirements exist for this education, and what materials teachers are actually using in their classrooms. The goal is to get a clear picture of where Holocaust education is happening, where it might be missing, and how it's being taught. This information would help policymakers and educators understand the current state of Holocaust education in American schools and potentially identify gaps or areas for improvement.
