This book discusses ethical behavior through the genocidal stages of the Holocaust. Paul E. Wilson first looks at the antisemitism in Germany and Europe beginning in the decades preceding the Nazis reign of terror, and goes on to discuss the ethical decisions made in the initial stages that moved society toward genocide. The author maintains that the stages of genocide represent subtle changes that can be happening within a society in response to the moral choices made by actors. By giving attention to the stages of genocide in the Holocaust, this book contributes to the overall understanding of how the Holocaust was possible, and encourages the moral community to join the watch for the development of genocide in the modern world. Paul E. Wilson is Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Shaw University, USA.

This book discusses the issues underlying contemporary Holocaust fiction. Using Gillian Rose’s theory of Holocaust piety, it argues that, rather than enhancing our understanding of the Holocaust, contemporary fiction has instead become overly focused on gratuitous representations of bodies in pain. The book begins by discussing the locations and imagery which have come to define our understanding of the Holocaust, before then highlighting how this gradual simplification has led to an increasing sense of emotional distance from the historical past. Holocaust fiction, the book argues, attempts to close this emotional and temporal distance by creating an emotional connection to bodies in pain. Using different concepts relating to embodied experience – from Sonia Kruks’ notion of feeling-with to Alison Landsberg’s prosthetic memory – the book analyses several key examples of Holocaust literature and film to establish whether fiction still possesses the capacity to approach the Holocaust impiously. David John Dickson is a literature specialist, focusing on fiction relating to the Holocaust. He has previously published papers relating to the ethical representation of the Holocaust past – from Heather Morris’s presentation of gendered suffering, to the fictional representation of death in the gas chamber. He also has an interest in the history of the Jewish ghetto police, and has published a paper relating to the confessional diary of Calel Perechodnik.

In this volume, contributors reflect on how to teach and mediate difficult history from the perspectives of guides. Too often, their activities are undervalued and taken for granted. Guides represent an important, often forgotten group of educators. This volume takes a global view on guiding at memorial sites and museums in Europe, North America, and South Africa. The contributors to this volume show from different research traditions that it is worth understanding more about the guides’ personal interests, their motivations, and their concept of guiding. Authors apply methodologies from the social sciences to describe the guides’ point of view. Complementing the various approaches in tour guide research, a detailed linguistic analysis sheds light on a survivor’s testimony echoed in the guides’ language. The studies gathered in this volume open up an orientation for further approaches to tour guiding based on and centered around “authentic” materials from guides. The Editor Anja Ballis, PhD, professor and chair of German Language Education at the University of Munich. The focus of her research has been on Holocaust education, teaching with digital media, and textbook research. She is also known for her research on interactive 3D testimonies, tour guides at Holocaust museums and memorial sites and as an editor of “Holocaust Education—Historical Learning—Human Rights Education” (since 2019, Springer Science).

Samenlevingen hebben een diepe drang om te herdenken en te herinneren. Zeker vandaag is het verleden alomtegenwoordig, en is er sprake van een ware 'memory boom'. Collectieve herinnering is echter niet neutraal. Ze wordt ingezet in het nastreven van allerlei politieke, sociale, culturele en morele doelen. De noodzaak van een kritische houding tegenover herinnering dringt zich dan ook op. 0'Herinneringen aan de Holocaust' richt zich op de educatie over herinnering, en analyseert het selectieve, politieke en evoluerende karakter van herinnering. Het boek onderzoekt de verschillende vormen van herinnering en de gespannen relatie tussen herinnering en geschiedenis. Via de analyse van onder meer films, stripverhalen, musea, monumenten en memorialen focussen de auteurs zich daarbij specifiek op de evolutie van de holocaustherinnering vanaf 1945, in Europa en in de Verenigde Staten. Bovendien krijgt de lezer bij elk hoofdstuk verschillende didactische scenario?s aangeboden, geschikt voor het secundair geschiedenisonderwijs. Kortom, een toegankelijk boekje voor iedereen die geįnteresseerd is in geschiedenis, en in het bijzonder een aanrader voor leerkrachten en al wie werkzaam is in de educatieve sector.
