Kean, Jr. | K000398 | kean.house.gov | kean | https://kean.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Contact: Dan Scharfenberger (January 27, 2023) WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (R-NJ) issued the following comments after co-sponsoring a bipartisan Holocaust Education bill, the Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons (HEAL) Act, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Rep. Kean joined the bill’s lead sponsor, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), and a dozen other Members of Congress today at a press conference to detail the HEAL Act and to honor the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust. “Today we came together as Republicans and Democrats alike to ensure that future generations understand an accurate history of the Holocaust. Amid the rise in antisemitism around the world, it’s critical that the horrors of the Holocaust are taught so that these events are never repeated. We can work together to put an end to hate.” The bipartisan HEAL Act will direct the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to conduct a study on Holocaust education efforts in public schools nationwide, which will: Determine which states and school districts require or do not require Holocaust education in their curriculum; Determine which states and school districts offer optional Holocaust education; Identify the standards and requirements schools mandate on this Holocaust education; Identify the types and quality of instructional materials used to teach; Identify the approaches used by schools to assess what students learn; and Report the results of the study to Congress. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z |
