Intergroup encounters in the context of teaching and learning about the Holocaust

Youth encounters focused on confronting the history and memory of Nazi crimes started soon after the Second World War and are an important tool for dealing with the history and memory. In seminars, the students first confronted their own family memories, then the research team set up encounters between Israeli and German students, first in Israel and then in Germany. Intergroup encounters take place in contexts of conflict, and also post-conflict or post-genocidal contexts, and bring together groups living with conflicting historical experiences or with antagonistic narratives
