October 7 Remembrance Education Act

HR 8254, the October 7 Remembrance Education Act, requires the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Director to develop a curriculum for secondary schools on Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attacks against Israel and related antisemitism. The curriculum must cover the attacks’ details, historical antisemitism, campus rhetoric, social media’s role in spreading anti-Israel sentiment, and denial of antisemitism, using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition. It is intended for use in secondary schools under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The Director must submit a report to Congress within three years of completing the curriculum.
