Zwischen Vermittlungsanspruch und emotionaler Wahrnehmung: Die Gestaltung neuer Dauerausstellungen in Gedenkstätten für NS-Opfer in Deutschland und deren Bildungsanspruch Year of publication: 2009 Author: Thomas Lutz Over the last decade, as part of the federal concept for memorial sites, twenty new permanent exhibitions were developed. This dissertation undertakes to examine exhibitions created at memorial sites for victims of the Nazi regime from an educational and museological viewpoint. Expert interviews with exhibition curators serve as the basis for the empirical study. The author has worked for many years in the field of memorial museums education. He applied “action research,” developed in German-speaking countries under the term “Handlungsforschung.” The study analyzes the specific characteristics of the work conducted in museums, memorial sites and educational centres and also addresses the strained connection between commemoration and learning in the educational work of the memorial museums for the Nazi victims. The study also evaluates the practical impact of these aims. The very intense form of commemorative work that is conducted in Germany is justified by the nature of its subject matter: the stigmatization of specific victim groups during the Nazi era according to a system of political, racist-biological and social characteristics and the vast dimensions of the genocide. The socially and politically explosive nature of this task is manifested by the commemoration of the “other” victims as well as by the responsibility that Germany bears for addressing its “own” perpetrators in society. The central findings of the study show that the new exhibitions embrace a much more comprehensive foundation of historical material (historical knowledge, building history and archeological significance of the crime sites, written and audio-visual survival testimony and artifacts) as was previously the case. The professionalization of the “field of memorial museums” has led to a more intensively reflected and sensitive approach to handling documents, illustrations and objects on display in a museum. In particular, the significance of the relationship between the artifacts and their location, their sources, an appreciation for their origins and a critical reflection of what it is they convey is achieved. This also applies to photography. (Written by author) The above abstract is taken from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Education Research Project.

Educating Against Extremism Year of publication: 2012 Author: Dianne Gereluk Extremism is a huge concern across the world right now, fueled by its links to terrorism and religious fundamentalism.

The task – a challenging one – is to politicize young people without cementing uncritical acceptance of single truths.

Responsible History as a Tool for Historical Reconciliation? EUROCLIO, the European Association of History Educators as a Case Study? Year of publication: 2012 Author: فان دير لييو-رورد، يوكي Corporate author: Lebanese Association for Educational Studies (LAES) Many university researchers specialized in the theory of history and in teaching history write about reconciliation using history learning and teaching. However, there are almost no empirical data on practical applications of such approaches nor on the process of implementation. In this contribution. I’d like to have a close look at the working methods of the European Association of History Educators EUROCLIO, in countries with internal political, racial and religious tensions, such as Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Moldovia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and in the countries and regions that were recently exposed to severe conflicts such as Bosnia, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Republic of Macedonia and Serbia. Then I’d want to ask the question about how EUROCLIO functions and explore what applies to be an example of reconciliation through teaching history, and whether the reconciliation approach creates a history teaching and learning that would be supportive of sustainable political entities. 
The Role of Education in Enforcing the Mentality of the Youth Against Terrorism and Extremism Year of publication: 2015 Author: السلطاني، نسرين حمزة عباس Corporate author: University of Babylon Terrorism has become an international phenomenon. It does not relate to a certain region or culture or society or certain religious group. Terrorism is related to social, political factors as a result of the rapid progress. The early years of the twenty first century have witnessed growth of terrorism in Iraq. Many specialists think that those years represent a turning point in the history of terrorism. Actually, terrorism is not limited to western countries but it strikes all Arab counties especially Iraq. All those explosions reflect extremist thought adopted by young people mobilized by Fatwas imported from ideologies foreign to Islamic Teachings that advocate tolerance and accepting the other. Security is not anymore the sole responsibilty of security forces rather all formal and informal institutions of society must be engaged.Next to the family, the school represents the second social environment where young people internalize social and cultural values. Should the school fail to do that society would loose its srcond defence line. Hence, it is necessary to discuss the role of the educational institutions in combatting terrorism and extremism. This study attempts to look at the role of schools in combatting terrorism, violence and extremism in all their contemporary forms, through the following two questions: what is the concept of violence, terrorism and violence? what role for the school in facing this phenomenon?
