Educating Students about the Holocaust: A Survey of Teaching Practices More than half a century has passed since the horrific events of the Holocaust took place, but images of the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany are no less shocking than they were 60 years ago. Any discussion of the Holocaust inevitably leads to questions of not only how and why this event occurred in the modern era but, more importantly, how the legacy of the Holocaust can continue to raise international awareness of human rights abuses and genocide. One way of achieving this awareness is by providing holocaust education to the nation's young people. While this objective has obtained widespread support, there has been an absence of reliable nationwide information on how the Holocaust is actually taught in U.S. schools. This article attempts to fill that gap by presenting the results of a yearlong study commissioned by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum of teaching practices in Holocaust education in the nation's secondary public schools in 2003-04. The study assessed secondary teaching practices in middle and high schools in the field of Holocaust education, and investigated teachers' rationales for teaching about the Holocaust.

How to teach the Holocaust to Middle School Students : Increasing Empathy Through Multisensory Education This study examines the relationships among seventh-grade students' achievement scores, attitudes toward instructional approaches, empathy scales, and the transfer of skills between traditional versus multisensory education. The Learning Style Inventory (LSI) was employed to determine learning-style preferences. The data collected in this study was subjected to statistical analyses, supporting the use of a multisensory, rather than a traditional, approach for teaching lessons of the Holocaust.

Developing reflective citizens: The role of Holocaust education In what way can we best conceptualize the relationship of Holocaust education to the broader goal of developing reflective citizens? Keeping in mind the diversity of our audience while simultaneously recognizing the traditions of social studies education in the United States, the author argues that Holocaust education should be integrated within the rationale of educating young people to reflect upon issues that have direct relationships to (1) the development of values and (2) the fostering of behaviours emphasizing social responsibility. In short, Holocaust education ‒ meaning the design of curricula, creation of pedagogical strategies and evaluation of student performance ‒ can be a critical component in developing a citizenry who are capable of addressing global problems such as human rights violations and genocide by employing a reflective understanding of history and its relationships to present and future policies and practices, irrespective of national boundaries (By the author)
Les élèves face à la Shoah : lieux, histoire, voyage Teaching the Holocaust is not easy. All teachers know it. In order to develop new forms of teaching, some have found a solution: leave the classroom and go with their students to visit places of memory. This approach, at a time when travel in general is developing, is increasingly popular. Its success has helped fuel a debate: what is the impact on students participating in these visits? What does the teacher need to do to prepare and to conduct such a trip to a memorial site? This books addresses the subject from the French perspective, and also from the English, Belgian, Spanish, Italian, Swiss, and Israeli point of view. Auschwitz is the main focus, but other places are also examined. (By the publisher - Translation)
Contemporary Debates in Holocaust Education Holocaust education is a controversial and rapidly evolving field. This book, which critically analyses the very latest research, discusses a number of the most important debates which are emerging within it. Adopting a truly global perspective, Contemporary Debates in Holocaust Education explores both teachers' and students' levels of Holocaust knowledge as well as their attitudes and approaches towards the subject. Moreover, it employs a forward-looking perspective by thinking about how the subject will be taught when there are no survivors remaining and what challenges and opportunities digital technology, social media and online learning offer the modern teacher of the Holocaust. This book seeks to shift the parameters of existing debates and offer an insightful commentary on the nature, scope and direction of Holocaust education, which will be of great use to academics, teachers and policy-makers alike.

Teaching the representation of the Holocaust “Can the story be told?” Jorge Semprun asked after his liberation from Buchenwald. The question is addressed from many angles in this volume of essays on teaching about the Holocaust. In their introduction, Marianne Hirsch and Irene Kacandes argue that Semprun’s question is as vital now, and as difficult and complex, as it was for the survivors in 1945. The thirty-eight contributors to Teaching the Representation of the Holocaust come from various disciplines (history, literary criticism, psychology, film studies) and address a wide range of issues pertinent to the teaching of a subject that many teachers and students feel is an essential part of a liberal arts education. This volume offers approaches to such works as Jurek Becker’s Jacob the Liar, Roberto Benigni’s Life Is Beautiful, Anne Frank’s diary, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen’s Hitler’s Willing Executioners, Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, Primo Levi’s Survival in Auschwitz, Cynthia Ozick’s The Shawl, Dan Pagis’s “Written in Pencil in the Sealed Railway Car,” Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, Elie Wiesel’s Night, and Abraham Yehoshua’s Mr. Mani. To the challenge “How do we transmit so hurtful an image of our own species without killing hope and breeding indifference?” posed by Geoffrey Hartman in this volume, the editors respond, “Only in the very human context of classroom interaction can we hope to avoid either false redemption or unending despair.” (By the publisher)
Toward a Philosophy of Holocaust Education: Teaching Values without Imposing Agendas Most teachers hope to make a difference in the lives of their students, but whether they accomplish this with any regularity is often left unclear. With a topic like the Holocaust, the stakes are greatly raised. In this essay, the author discusses the place of the Holocaust in the liberal arts. He argues that the content of Holocaust education must revolve around a methodology that allows students to conjure and experiment with new and deeper self-understanding(s). Teaching the Holocaust effectively means freeing (and urging) students to ask questions about historical epistemology (i.e., the ways in which historians come to know what they do), as well as questions which speak directly to the challenges of the current moment. The idea behind this philosophy is to teach the past in a manner that equips students to see the ramifications of their choices in contrast to the Germans who, by virtue of their own choices, allowed themselves to be fastened in a system designed to achieve national revitalization and racial purification at any and all costs. He stresses that history teachers, as the most recent data show, cannot further their own agendas by using the Holocaust as an instrument for political indoctrination, but they can still lead their students toward new ways of thinking about the world and their place in it.
