From archive to classroom: reflections on teaching the history of the Holocaust in different countries

The author argues that there is a marked difference between countries as to how the Holocaust took place and addresses the difficulties in teaching those differences. He believes the best way for the teacher to address these difficulties is to remain as close as possible to the history of the event as represented by the vast range of primary-source documents available in published and easily obtainable monographs, document collections, photo books and survivor testimony.
