Abstract

Secondary business education has a unique opportunity to complement social studies education with business-specific teaching about the Holocaust. Opportunities exist to teach students how business leaders such as Henry Ford collaborated with the Nazis to destroy Jews and other minority populations through forced labor hiring practices, manufacturing, and more. This two day lesson plan provides evidence-based curriculum and links to free resources to equip business education teachers to teach business students what can be learned about dishonest business practices by studying the Holocaust.
