Contributed chapters by eminent Holocaust scholars provide critical essays that encourage teachers to reflect on why and how they teach Holocaust history. The chapters are devoted to addressing some of the many problematic practices currently being implemented in Holocaust education as well as to raise critical issues and effective pedagogical strategies. Issues addressed are: methods for assessing students' knowledge base prior to teaching Holocaust history; teaching the history in a comprehensive and accurate fashion; the dangers of teaching this history to primary school students, and the emphasis on studying this history to understand contemporary issues in genocide. Various strategies including mind-mapping and pre-assessments are offered as well as a host of activities to incorporate the study of the Holocaust into the curriculum.
