If we expose students to a study of human suffering, we have a
responsibility to guide them through it. But, is this the role of
school history? Is the rationale behind teaching the Holocaust
primarily historical, moral or social? Is the Holocaust to be
taught as a historical event, with a view to developing students'
critical historical skills, or as a tool to combat continuing
prejudice and discrimination? These profound questions lie at the
heart of Lucy Russell's fascinating analysis of teaching the
Holocaust in school history. She considers how the topic of the
Holocaust is currently being taught in schools in the UK and
overseas. Drawing on interviews with educationalists, academics and
teachers, she discovers that there is, in fact, a surprising lack
of consensus regarding the purpose of, and approaches to, teaching
the Holocaust in history. Indeed the majority view is distinctly
non-historical; there is a tendency to teach the Holocaust from a
social and moral perspective and not as history. This book attempts
to explain and debate this phenomenon.
