Abstract:
"Never again! The Holocaust's Challenge for Educators" is a collection of essays and reports by international scholars and educationists. The first part, PREMISES, deals with ethical dilemmas, psycho-analytical attempts at understanding, and the historical and philosophical questions of the Holocaust̷s uniqueness. Standing out among these recent texts is an essay by Theodor W. Adorno, Education after Auschwitz, from 1966. Influential among European educators, this text is published here for the first time in English. In the second part, APPROACHES, various ways to teach about the Holocaust are reported in their respective national contexts: The field trips by Israeli youth to the death-camps, America̷s ̮Facing History and OurselvesŁ (along with a Canadian critique of the Holocaust̷s ̮AmericanizationŁ), a Dutch view of reconstructing identity, and a German perspective on facing that nation̷s dilemma in education. The 16 concepts and views expressed in this collection represent the Holocaust-discourse among international educators, they are at its cutting edge during the late nineties.
