When Teaching About The Holocaust Isn t Enough Brittany Burns teaching her Fragility of Democracy course at Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough. Share When Teaching About The Holocaust Isn t Enough | May 5, 2021 Just months after former President Donald Trump took office in 2017, militant neo-Nazi groups rioted in the streets of Charlottesville, Va., carrying torches and chanting Jews will not replace us! Three days later, someone threw a rock at the Holocaust Memorial in downtown Boston. Bystanders chased and tackled the perpetrator, a 17-year-old from Malden. Greg Hurley heard the news with horror. At the time, he was a social studies teacher in charge of the history curriculum at Malden High School, where the suspect was enrolled.
