Abstract:
Reporting on a study of a class of eighth-graders in an Evangelical Christian school in the rural Midwest, discusses the image of Jews conveyed through a Holocaust unit taught in 2001 (mainly through teacher-directed discussion of the autobiography of Corrie ten Boom, a Christian rescuer of Dutch Jews). Concludes that fundamentalist Christian teaching tends to stereotype Jews according to traditional Christian views that, at best, allow the Jews a special place in the Divine dispensation - until they convert. Such education is thus monocultural rather than multicultural. It was reinforced by the fact that, for these students, Jews were an abstraction rather than people who they knew personally.
Note:
