Shoah and Experience is a collection of essays offering important
insights on the nature of Holocaust education with implications for
Holocaust education development for future generations, in Israel
and worldwide. Special attention is given to the evolving nature of
contemporary multimedia society in which youth are inundated with
stimuli of all kinds. Hence, consideration is given to the
incorporation of multidimensional aspects of learning and
experience in Holocaust education in order to enhance students'
understanding on cognitive, emotional and moral levels. This book
will help Holocaust educators and curriculum developers to design
Holocaust education and attune it to the nature and the needs of
the current generation. It is intended to prepare educators to
initiate and lead programs and encounters designed to teach today's
youth about the Holocaust from multiple perspectives.
Society consists of numerous interconnected, interacting, and
interdependent groups, which invariably differ in both power and
status. Inequality and conflict between social groups entails
economic as well as sociological and political factors. The
tensions that arise between these groups are the root of society's
most difficult problems -- sometimes, the root of its
disintegration. Ethnic and minority conflict is an inherent part of
social life. The study of specific ethnic and minority groups
reflects the fact that people live in very powerful competitive
modern or traditional societies; also, that group conflict and
inequality is generally the social norm rather than the exception.

Why is labour migration an issue of such public, social and
political concern? How did it acquire such an importance? This book
deals with exploitation on a massive scale. It is estimated that
there are roughly 20 to 30 million unauthorised migrants
world-wide, comprising 10%-15% of the world's immigrant stock. The
book focuses on migrant workers, accompanied by as many dependants,
who are driven by circumstances beyond their control to work in a
country other than their own, in a foreign society that cannot
function without them. Most countries admit only a limited number
of labour immigrants to meet their labour market needs and
priorities. The papers presented in this book cover a wide range of
areas from various aspects. The points of view on and from
different countries try to look at the very complex subject of
migrant labourers from three main aspects -- social, legal and
criminological. Theses papers cover a wide range of areas such as -
prejudices and racial intolerance, official policies, living and
health conditions, psychological and psychiatry aspects,
criminality and victimisation and human trafficking. Some of the
papers advance the Conflict theory, which seeks to catalogue the
ways in which those in power seek to stay in power. Others reflect
on basic facts advanced by other sociological and criminological
theories.
