Quelques constats à propos de la transmission scolaire de la Shoah en Suisse This study is based on interviews conducted among teachers from the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland to determine how the history and memory of the Shoah are transmitted in the schools: it is at the intersection of the teaching of history and of social perception. The interviews reveal the high standards the teachers set for themselves. Consequently, they are caught between their own perception of the uniqueness of the Shoah and their concern that its exceptional nature might not be shared by their students. Thus, the combination of the exceptional nature of the subject and the teachers’ concern becomes a veritable pedagogical leitmotif that translates both the strength of their conviction and their difficulty in expressing it through effective teaching strategies. It is one of the factors that lead certain teachers to compare the Shoah with other genocides. And yet, when these teachers broach the subject of genocide in a comparative way, the uniqueness of the Shoah stands out, in their eyes, and is reinforced by the strong identification that a majority of them feel with the victims.

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.

Handbuch Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust. Historisch-politisches Lernen in Schule, außerschulischer Bildung und Lehrerbildung. The educational field of National Socialism and the Holocaust is an indispensable part of historical-political learning in schools, non-formal education and teacher training. This manual gives new impetus to the theoretical discussion as well as to the practical educational work. Basic theoretical texts are complemented by methodological suggestions as well as by accounts based on personal experience and presentations of projects with national and international perspectives. The fact that today, more than sixty years after the events, adolescents have hardly any direct access to this phase of German and European history, and the question of how to deal with this challenge, are here of central importance. The contributions in the manual focus on the following themes: The fundamentals of National Socialism and the Holocaust as an educational field. School practices: Learning from classroom instruction. School practices: Learning from projects. Practices in teacher education. Practices in memorial sites and non-formal educational institutions. International approaches. (By the publisher)
