Gathering the voices: Disseminating the message of the Holocaust for the digital generation by applying an interdisciplinary approach The aim of the Gathering the Voices project is to gather testimonies from Holocaust survivors who have made their home in Scotland and to make these testimonies available on the World Wide Web. The project commenced in 2012, and a key outcome of the project is to educate current and future generations about the resilience of these survivors. Volunteers from the Jewish community are collaborating with staff and undergraduate students in Glasgow Caledonian University in developing innovative approaches to engage with school children. These multimedia approaches are essential, as future generations will be unable to interact in person with Holocaust survivors. By students being active participants in the project, they will learn more about the Holocaust and recognize the relevance of these testimonies in today’s society. Although some of the survivors have been interviewed about their journeys in fleeing from the Nazi atrocities, for all of the interviewees, this is the first time that they have been asked about their lives once they arrived in the United Kingdom. The interviews have also focused on citizenship and integration into society. The project is not yet completed, and an evaluation will be taking place to measure the effectiveness of the project in communicating its message to the public. (By the author) Holocaust education and human rights: Holocaust discussions in social science textbooks worldwide, 1970-2008 This paper examines discussions of the Holocaust in 465 secondary school social science textbooks (history, civics, and social studies) from 69 countries published between 1970 and 2008. It finds that textbooks from Western countries are more likely to discuss the Holocaust early on, but the rate is increasing in other regions of the world. Moreover, these discussions are increasingly framed in terms of a universal violation of human rights. Today, over half of Holocaust discussions in textbooks use the language of human rights or a crime against humanity. I argue the shift towards more abstract discourse depicting some events as culturally relevant worldwide reflects the construction of a globalized culture and society.

Année de publication: 2008 Auteur: Henry Maitles The relationship between learning about the Holocaust and the development of positive values may seem common sense, but in reality there is a complex level of development and understanding. The research reported here, which was sponsored by the Scottish government, was designed to ascertain whether learning about the Holocaust has an impact on young people’s general citizenship values and attitudes; does learning about the Holocaust allow them to extrapolate from the events of the Holocaust to present-day issues, such as racism and discrimination? The study followed a cohort of approximately 100 pupils (aged 11–12) who had studied the Holocaust and compared their values one year later both to their earlier attitudes and to those of their peers who had not studied the Holocaust. As we might expect, the results were not always as predicted, particularly when it came to the pupils’ understanding of anti-Semitism or genocide; in general, however, the study’s core group maintained more positive values than they had before their lessons on the Holocaust and showed more positive values than their peers who had not studied the Holocaust. (By the author) Intercultural Education : Special Issue : Holocaust Education : Promise, Practice, Power and Potential (Vol 24) Issue 1 & 2 Année de publication: 2013 Auteur institutionnel: International Association for Intercultural Education | Routledge "Intercultural Education is a global forum for the analysis of issues dealing with education in plural societies. It provides educational professionals with the knowledge and information that can assist them in contributing to the critical analysis and the implementation of intercultural education." This issue is about the promise, practice, power and potential of Holocaust Education. Does addressing prejudice and discrimination through Holocaust education produce better citizens? Année de publication: 2007 Auteur: Paula Cowan | Henry Maitles Previous research on teaching the Holocaust, primarily case studies in either the primary or the secondary sectors, suggests that Holocaust education can contribute to pupils' citizenship values in a positive way. Yet, in common with other initiatives, this evidence focuses exclusively on the short term impact of Holocaust education. Our ongoing longitudinal research is concerned with both the immediate and longer term effects of Holocaust education on pupils' values and attitudes. Initially focused on primary pupils aged 11–12 years, it has followed them into the first year of secondary to examine whether the general improvements in attitudes found in the first stage of the research has been maintained. Further, we are able to compare their attitudes with pupils in their year who did not study the Holocaust in their primary schools. This article draws conclusions from this study. (By the author) The pain of knowledge : Holocaust and genocide issues in education Année de publication: 2005 Auteur: Yair Auron Violation of the rights of a human being and indifference in the face of suffering jeopardize the very existence of human society. The Holocaust is the most extreme example of such violations, and the greatest moral failure mankind has experienced. Confronting the Holocaust, as well as genocide, may contribute to understanding the importance of humanistic and democratic values, and help construct tools for making moral judgments. That is why courses on the study of genocide and the Holocaust have become part of the curricula of educational institutions in the United States and elsewhere. This book asks how the moral messages of the Holocaust and genocide can best be transmitted. The Pain of Knowledge deals not with historical events, but with possible ways of learning about these events and their significance. It attempts to examine and deal critically with some of the profound dilemmas at the core of Holocaust and genocide issues in education. The underlying purpose of this book is to expose the reader to sometimes antithetical, and at other times complementary, views concerning the teaching of these subjects, both in Israel and elsewhere in the world. This book will contribute to the teaching of the Holocaust and genocide, and encourage readers to examine these issues from a broad perspective. Among the subjects dealt with in The Pain of Knowledge are: how societies crystallize their collective memories; historical processes and changes in the teaching of the Holocaust in Israel during different periods of time; commemoration of Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day; journeys of Israeli youth to sites connected with the Holocaust in Poland; attitudes of Israeli adolescents toward the Holocaust; attitudes of Israeli Arabs toward the Holocaust; general world attitudes toward the Holocaust; teaching of the Holocaust throughout the world; and teaching of genocide in Israel and elsewhere.

Participation and Exercising Pupils’ Citizenship at French-Language Elementary School in Ontario Année de publication: 2018 Auteur: Nathalie Bélanger Auteur institutionnel: Lien social et Politiques This article first describes the evolution which allowed the child to be considered as an actor. In this vein, citizenship education programs at school are discussed, although they do not often take into account exercising citizenship in the school context and children’s voice. Research results from a broader project on how students represent their school experience in French-language schools in Ontario are analyzed specifically with respect to what a welcoming school means for them. The methodology uses an inductive approach and the data were gathered from administering a questionnaire designed for children, observation and semi-directed interviews. The results show the impact of school culture and school form on the exercise of students' citizenship, the topics they address, their concerns and priorities. The greater the predominance of settlement and integration issues are, the less the exercise of citizenship includes deliberative opportunities regarding school functioning. Participation et exercice de la citoyenneté des élèves à l’école Année de publication: 2018 Auteur: Nathalie Bélanger Auteur institutionnel: Lien social et Politiques Cet article retrace les courants théoriques qui permettent de penser l’enfant en tant que sujet et donne la parole aux enfants au sujet de leur expérience scolaire. Dans ce contexte, des programmes d’éducation à la citoyenneté sont apparus, sans toutefois que l’exercice de la citoyenneté des élèves et leur prise de parole soient pris en compte et valorisés. Pour y remédier, il s’agit d’interroger des élèves au sujet de ce que représente pour eux une école accueillante. La méthodologie recourt à une approche inductive et les données ont été recueillies à partir de l’administration d’un questionnaire conçu pour des enfants, d’observation et d’entretiens semi-dirigés. Les résultats montrent l’incidence de la culture de l’école et de la forme scolaire sur l’exercice de la citoyenneté des élèves, sur les thèmes qu’ils abordent, les soucis et les priorités qui sont les leurs. Plus les enjeux d’installation et d’intégration sont prédominants, moins l’exercice de la citoyenneté inclut de possibilités délibératives quant au fonctionnement scolaire. Perceptions of the Holocaust in Europe and Muslim communities : Sources, Comparisons and Educational challenges Année de publication: 2012 Auteur: Gunther Jikeli | Joëlle Allouche-Benayoun The way people think about the Holocaust is changing. The particular nature of the transformation depends on people’s historical perspectives and how they position themselves and their nation or community vis-à-vis the tragedy. Understandably, European Muslims perceive the Holocaust as less central to their history than do other Europeans. Yet while the acknowledgement and commemoration of the horrors of the Holocaust are increasingly important in Europe, Holocaust denial and biased views on the Holocaust are widespread in European Muslims’ countries of origin. In this book, a number of distinguished scholars and educators of various backgrounds discuss views of the Holocaust. Problematic views are often influenced by a persistent attitude of Holocaust denial, which is derived, in part, from discourses in the Muslim communities in their countries of origin. The essays collected here explore the backgrounds of these perceptions and highlight positive approaches and developments. Many of the contributions were written by people working in the field and reflecting on their experiences. This collection also reveals that problematic views of the Holocaust are not limited to Muslim communities. (By the publisher) Feature or footnote ? Teacher's attitudes toward the teaching of the Holocaust in primary schools in Scotland The question of teaching controversial and difficult issues in primary schools remains itself controversial. This article discusses the area of teaching the Holocaust in primary schools in Scotland by examining its relevance to the primary curriculum and reporting on survey and interview research amongst a sample of primary teachers in Scotland. Based on limited research, this paper suggests that the Holocaust is appropriate for primary pupils, provides insight into the reactions of parents and colleagues and shows that Holocaust history in Scottish primary schools is set firmly within the contexts of Anne Frank and World War Two. We find that there are significant barriers to its teaching, yet most of these can be successfully overcome. (By the author)
