This paper reviews empirical studies about EH that relate directly to GCED. It demonstrates that EH can be an effective means to further the goals of GCED. In addition, it argues that the global policy climate is conducive to the widespread adoption of EH in conjunction with GCED due to the receptiveness of local actors (e.g. van Driel, 2016) and the substantial international capacity of dedicated Holocaust organizations like Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Facing History and Ourselves, Memorial de la Shoah, the Anne Frank House and others, whose mission statements articulate goals that align closely to the desired outcomes of GCED.
