Description
This work is comprised of personal essays by some of the most noted Holocaust educators working in or with Holocaust museums, resource centers, or educational organizations across the globe. These distinguished contributors-from the United States, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, South Africa, Germany, and Poland-each delineate the genesis and evolution of their own thought and work in the field of Holocaust education. Their personal narratives discuss those individuals and/or scholarly works that have most influenced them, their aspirations, the frustrations they have faced, their perception of the field, their major contributions, their current endeavors, and the legacy they hope to leave upon the completion of their careers.
Reviews / Votes
The nine international educators who both tell their personal stories and detail their educational and pedagogical work remind us not only how much is presently being done and how well, but how much more needs to be done to translate the tragic events of the Holocaust into contemporary lessons. One can only hope that their stories and their work will inspire a new group of educators to continue their activities and teach future generations that the past need not be repeated. -- Steven Leonard Jacobs, Aaron Aronov Chair of Judaic Studies, University of AlabamaMore details
