## Summary

**Would create a federal secondary-school curriculum about Hamas' October 7, 2023 attacks and the role of antisemitism.** It would direct the Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to develop the curriculum within 180 days after enactment and report to Congress after completion, and require five elements: the October 7 attacks (in which Hamas killed over 1,200 people and kidnapped over 240, including Americans), the history of antisemitism using the IHRA working definition, the spread of antisemitism and anti‑Israel rhetoric in the U.S. and on campuses, social media's role in accelerating that spread, and denial and distortion as forms of antisemitism.
