Abstract:
Deals with the dilemma of how to teach about the Holocaust and how to preserve the memory of what happened in a world so eager to forget. Refers to Primo Levi's recollection of Dante's "Il canto di Ulisse" when he was in Auschwitz; he journeys into memory and compares the reality of Auschwitz with Dante's Inferno. In the same way, in a critical manner, through reference to a system of positive values, the teacher should stimulate the formation of responsibility and of a collective conscience: the Holocaust should be taught because if it happened, it can happen again.
