In this course we will consider goals, methods, content, and messages of teaching and learning about the Holocaust (TLH). We will delineate the development of Holocaust education and more specifically the place of Holocaust in school curricula, formal and informal education. TLH raises a host of educational questions regarding our goals as educators; what is successful Holocaust education and how the cultural surrounding is reflected in TLH. We will consider all these questions from multidisciplinary perspectives, including pedagogical, psychological, and philosophical aspects.
