Powerful and Authentic Digital Media and Strategies for Teaching about Genocide and the Holocaust The continued prominence of genocide and Holocaust education, along with the movement toward the affective in social studies curricula, the advent of the Internet, and continued scholarship in the field, has led to the availability of a staggering array of digital resources for teachers (D. S. Symer 2001). These resources have the potential to enhance genocide and Holocaust education by providing robust content resources and interactive opportunities for students to develop new skills and understanding. In this article, the authors identify new digital media resources and strategies that engage students in authentic learning experiences about genocide and the Holocaust. They use F. W. Newmann and G. G. Wehlage's (1993) framework for "authentic instruction." Using this framework, the authors identify digital media that engage students in moral and ethical valuing, emphasize historical inquiry, and are relevant to the world outside of school.

The Time Period of the Holocaust in the Beliefs of Primary School Children – Children’s Perspectives and the Thematization of the Holocaust and National Socialism in Primary-School Instruction (in General Subjects) Year of publication: 2012 Author: Andrea Becher The original title: Die Zeit des Holocaust in Vorstellungen von Grundschulkindern – Perspektiven von Kindern und die Thematisierung von Holocaust und Nationalsozialismus im (Sach-)Unterricht der Grundschule(In I. Enzenbach, C. Klätte, & D. Pech, (Eds.). Kinder und Zeitgeschichte: Jüdische Geschichte und Gegenwart, Nationalsozialismus und Antisemitismus, Supplement, 8, pp. 101–120) This is a summary of a study of German primary school children’s beliefs about the Holocaust, based on interviews conducted in two classes in 2005. The author finds that the children almost exclusively focus on Hitler; that one can find “latent anti-Semitic fragments” in their statements; that, even without formal education, the pupils still possess knowledge about the Holocaust; and their main source of information about Nazi Germany seems to be family members. However, the family narratives mainly touch upon everyday-life and avoid the topic of the Holocaust. From these findings, the author argues that one could and should teach the Holocaust already in the German primary school.
