Teaching about the Holocaust in the 21st Century, Volume 253Given the rise of anti-Semitism in parts of Europe, the accessibility of "denial" Internet sites and the isolationist stand taken by certain European political leaders today, Holocaust teaching was given an important place in Council of Europe's history project. Although some countries have high standards for Holocaust teaching, others are lacking in material. This teaching resource is based on the work of such widely recognised authors as Raul Hilberg, Sir Martin Gilbert, Saul Friedlander and Christopher Browning, plus first-hand accounts, including those of Primo Levi, Hermann Langbein and Claude Lanzmann's interviewees. It offers teachers a body of knowledge for use in course planning and brings to the forefront facts and figures on victims often "overlooked", Roma/Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses. What emerges from the succinct descriptions of how and where this genocide was carried out is the comprehensiveness of the Nazi enterprise. |
