Gender Justice, Citizenship and Difference in Latin America Year of publication: 2010 Author: Maxine Molyneux This article surveys feminist citizenship practices and scholarship on gender, justice, citizenship and rights in Latin America. Feminism’s critique of patriarchal privilege expressed a modern desire for greater individual freedom and collective recognition, a combination that produced tensions and some inconsistencies in regard to the «difference» question, notably in its encounter with indigenous populations. However, central to feminism’s project was the pursuit of both recognition and redistribution, which achieved greater success in the realm of law and politics than in the distribution of public and private goods. A review of Latin American feminism’s achievements reveals a history of substantial advances but a striking persistence of gender inequality, which provides a rich agenda for further investigation. Justicia de Género, Ciudadanía y Diferencia en América Latina Year of publication: 2010 Author: Maxine Molyneux Este artículo hace un recorrido por las prácticas feministas ciudadanas y los estudios sobre género, justicia, ciudadanía y derechos en América Latina. La crítica al privilegio patriarcal realizada desde el feminismo expresa un deseo moderno de mayor libertad individual y reconocimiento colectivo. Unas peticiones que han producido tensiones y algunas contradicciones en relación a la cuestión de la «diferencia», especialmente en el encuentro con los pueblos indígenas. No obstante, el feminismo siempre se ha dedicado a lograr tanto el reconocimiento como la redistribución; si bien, ha alcanzado más éxito en los terrenos legales y políticos que en la redistribución de recursos públicos y privados. El análisis de los logros del feminismo en América Latina revela una historia de éxitos significativos, pero parciales; y una serie de desafíos para futuras investigaciones al respecto. 
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.

“Just Don’t Moralize!” Emotional Processes in the Pedagogical Engagement with National Socialism Year of publication: 2008 Author: Gudrun Brockhaus The original title: “Bloß nicht moralisieren!” Emotionale Prozesse in der pädagogischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus(Einsichten und Perspektiven, Bayerische Zeitschrift für Politik und Geschichte, 1(8), pp. 28–33.) The article is a critical reflection on the outcomes of an empirical study (Kühner 2008; Kühner et al. 2008), based on a psychological/psychoanalytical perspective: how should we deal with emotions when dealing with the Holocaust? The author highlights the teachers’ very high expectations regarding the emotional Betroffenheit, the pressure on consensus, and the tabooisation of “political incorrectness” in the classroom, tendencies that can lead to a problematic teacher-student relationship. Thus, teachers encounter specific didactical difficulties and show a certain lack of self-assertion. Brockhaus assumes that this is based on how the teacher relates, as a person and as a pedagogue, to the heritage of National Socialism. Brockhaus concludes by insisting on the necessity to reflect openly, as students and as teachers, on the emotional processes and the reluctance caused by the topic of the Holocaust in this society.
