Reviews

'... A commanding exploration of the complex issues surrounding Holocaust education in the twentieth-century.' Holocaust Studies: A Journal of culture and History 'This book will stimulate educators' thinking about the challenges of teaching the Holocaust. ...I would recommend [Stuart Foster's] chapter [as] required reading for student history teachers, and teachers of the Holocaust. ...Karayianni's chapter on teaching about the Holocaust in the primary school provides empirical research in an under-researched area. ...Lenga's words of caution are accompanied by considered practical recommendations to support teachers in their duty of care to their pupils. These will be welcomed by educators of the Holocaust, Human Rights and Genocide alike.' Educational Review
