Description
Book SynopsisThe Holocaust was an upheaval in politics, culture, society, ethics, and theology. This book can be read as an injunction to teach and act in a manner with a 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.
Trade Review"In a well-organized format, the editors of the book have compiled a highly readable set of essays offering practical suggestions for educators across the disciplines..Not only do these expert teachers encourage other instructors to include outcomes related to ethics and morals on a class syllabus, but they also encourage teachers and their students to use course material as a force for change and resistance."
* H-Net *
"By exploring the challenges, personal and professional, to those who teach and by assessing student learning outcomes, this volume provides a valuable contribution to Shoah education. ."
