Description
These essays speak directly to specific concerns surrounding Holocaust education: the growing maturity of the Holocaust as a field of study; the difficult and troubling issue of explaining the perpetrators' behaviour; the process of decision-making within Jewish communities during the Holocaust; the issue of gender and family; the scope and content of survivor literature; the structure of courses and the implications of being an educator in this field.
