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.

There was a response rate of 21.622%. The respondents represent all geographic regions, including countries with large, middle and small populations, and over half are from developing economies. 
Understanding Policy Instrument Choice Concerning Citizenship in Education and Youth Policies: A Typology of Public Tools Year of publication: 2018 Author: Valérie Becquet Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques Whether at European or at national level, issues relating to the citizenship of young people are present in public debates and give to the implementation of specific tools. The past and the recurrence of setting up this issue on the agenda invites to reflect on the dynamics of public action. This article presents a typology of the tools gradually developed in two public sectors that concern young people: education and youth. Based on a policy instrument choice approach, it highlights that the choices made by public decision-makers to deal with citizenship issues lead to a multiplication and a diversification of the tools. This proliferation introduces suppose to reflect on the legibility of public action: if those mechanisms can be seen as complementary and as an opportunity for young people, they can also enter into tension. In a context of generational renewal of the electorate, it also calls for reflection on the consequences for young people’s practices and on the building of the perception of citizenship. Comprendre l’instrumentation des questions de citoyenneté dans les politiques d’éducation et de jeunesse : une typologie des dispositifs d’action publique Year of publication: 2018 Author: Valérie Becquet Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques Que ce soit au niveau européen qu’au niveau national, les enjeux relatifs à la citoyenneté des jeunes sont présents dans les débats publics et donnent lieu à la mise en place de dispositifs spécifiques. L’ancienneté et la récurrence de la mise à l’agenda de cette question invitent à réfléchir sur les dynamiques de l’action publique. Cet article propose une typologie des dispositifs progressivement développés dans deux secteurs publics qui interviennent auprès des jeunes : l’éducation et la jeunesse. En mobilisant une approche par les instruments d’action publique, il met en évidence que les choix opérés par les décideurs publics pour traiter des questions de citoyenneté conduisent à une multiplication et à une diversification des dispositifs. Cette prolifération interroge la lisibilité de l’action publique : si les dispositifs peuvent apparaître complémentaires et constituer une opportunité pour les jeunes, ils peuvent aussi entrer en tension. Dans un contexte de renouvellement générationnel du corps électoral, elle invite également à réfléchir sur les conséquences sur les pratiques des jeunes et sur la construction de leur représentation de la citoyenneté.
