Samuel Totten, University of Arkansas, USA '...Issues in Holocaust Education will be valuable literature for educators in classrooms and museums in considering the questions of content selection, the suitability of resources, age-appropriateness for effective learning and the possible impact on a child's growing notion of self-identity, citizenship and moral truth...Short and Reed in their accomplished book offer an insight into understanding the issues - a crucial step in ensuring that the educational potential of the subject is realized.' Ruth-Anne Lenga, University of London, UK 'As one who has thought long and hard about the Holocaust and its teaching, I still found helpful and revealing insights in every section. I warmly recommend [this] book.'

Journal of Moral Education 'Short and Reed are already well known for their work in this field and [this] book is a very positive contribution to the literature on Holocaust education...this book provides valuable insight into a vitally important area and deserves to be read by all who want an intelligently written and well-organised account of issues in Holocaust education.' Comparative Education 'Various audiences would benefit from reading [this] book. It is valuable reading for anyone who is going to start teaching about the Holocaust, as well as for those who already have broad experience in teaching.' Intercultural Education 'This rigorous text seeks to explore the way the Holocaust is taught in educational institutions by analyzing the socio-historical factors which affect the development and education of the Shoah in schools, as well as researching the reasons that motivate antiracist movements' indifference towards the study of the Shoah. The book also sheds light on the attitudes and practices of teachers within the world of education, with the politico-pedagogical objective of thinking of new ways of educating to create responsible citizens.'
