The Nazi genocide of the Jews, while unique in some ways, was not
the only genocide of the twentieth century. This innovative book,
the product of a year-long collaboration of scholars from many
disciplines, is the first curriculum to systematically tie the
teaching of the Holocaust to an analysis of the genocides in
Armenia, Bosnia and Kosovo, and Rwanda.
The book consists of five parts: introduction; history of the
Holocaust; representations of the Holocaust in literature, film,
and the arts; other genocides; and ethics. The curriculum, shaped
with feedback from those who teach Holocaust studies, consists
mainly of primary documents and their analysis. Each section
includes a general introduction to a body of knowledge that
reflects current research and detailed introductions to particular
documents. Throughout the book, there are provocative discussion
questions and suggestions for further reading and other resources.
Each section features "links" to other parts to encourage
interdisciplinary reflection. The final section on ethics addresses
the difficult questions raised by genocide.
"The Holocaust and Other Genocides" is designed as a model for
flexible, innovative teaching about this complex subject. It is
also a sophisticated, interdisciplinary effort to create the
conditions for discussing and understanding the genocides of the
twentieth century.
