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.

Teaching about the Holocaust : Major educational predicaments, proposals for reform, and change - An international perspective Année de publication: 2013 Auteur: Zehavit Gross The aim of this article is to analyze the findings of a research project on how the Holocaust is taught around the world. The project analyzes central issues and educational events that occur while teaching the Holocaust "behind the classroom door," in public schools in different countries. Researchers from 10 nations participated in the project: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Estonia, Scotland, Australia, the United States, Canada and Israel. One of the major findings of this research was that although the official establishment is very interested in teaching the subject of the Holocaust, teachers can find it hard to teach because of resistance by their students, who occasionally react in class with cynical, racist, anti-Semitic and antidemocratic remarks. In all the countries, researchers indicate three principal ways of handling the question of the Holocaust: education, teacher training, and research.

The comparison between the formal and informal curricula in both countries shows that both systems share this study's basic assumption concerning the inherent potential of teaching the Holocaust to the younger generation. Nevertheless, each country has a clear goal toward which it directs its students. The State of Israel, the Jewish state, perceives the Holocaust mainly through nationalist and Zionist eyes, directing the younger generation to learn particular lessons. The French model, in contrast, represents a shortened version ... devoted to the universal lessons of the Holocaust. But in the end, both systems would benefit by adopting some of the elements of the other. (By the author)

(By the publisher) Genocide & The Shoah (The Holocaust) : Intellectual Tools for Education & Public Policy Decision The article reviews anti-Semitism from a multi-disciplinary perspective by focusing on the influence of American anti-Semitism on the German Nazis; exploring the endurance of anti-Semitism in Germany via its intellectual and scholastic elite; and exploring the political psychology of Hitlerism prior to the Second World War. The article then examines the problem that although anti-Semitism may be a necessary condition of genocide, it is not a sufficient one. This required the understanding of the jump from anti-Semitism, that is repressive and dominating, to the decision to exterminate a population of human beings completely. This also required a more carefully exploration of the specific features of the Nazi decision process as well as its framework of social control. With this background, the article focuses on developing the theoretical and methodological intellectual skills that have been developed in the context of the policy sciences in order to provide an approach to the challenges generated by the problems of mass murder and genocide, which would guide policy makers to more realistic, timely and effective interventions. The article then explores distinctive but interrelated intellectual tasks that are required for research to guide inquiry and policy making and which include a disciplined commitment to the clarification of the value goals implicated by the problems of mass murder and genocide. These intellectual tasks require a careful specification of the trends in past decisions that have sought, in some measure of efficacy, to respond to these problems. They would also require an understanding of the scientific conditions that have shaped the nature of these trends in order to be able to forecast about the prospect of genocide and mass murder, which could be understood as a tentative forecast of an optimistic and a pessimistic nature, and the possibility of constraining it. Finally, theory requires an element of creativity. That creativity would be expressed in terms of the provided interaction between human values and the art/aesthetic process, which is suggested as a tool for realizing the never again goal. The creative aspect of this would be the invention of strategies that might direct intervention of a trend in the direction of a more optimistic possible future. (By the author)
