Description
The first section can be read as an injunction to teach and act in a manner consistent with a profound cautionary message: that there can be no tolerance for moral neutrality about the Holocaust, and that there is no subject in the humanities or social sciences where its shadow has not reached. The second section is devoted to the process and nature of student's learning. The third moves the subject of the Holocaust out of the classroom and into broader institutional settings.
