Howard Tinberg and Ronald Weisberger have given us a wonderful book that documents their journey in teaching the Shoah through merging the perspectives of literature and history... I recommend this book to all colleagues who wish to have a close look at how collaborative teaching can be a successful, albeit challenging enterprise. Asian Journal Scholarship Teaching and Learning

A fascinating account of struggling with the Shoah within a community college setting and an exemplary piece of classroom research. Tinberg (English) and Weisberger (history) bring their own disciplinary perspectives to bear on the challenges of making sense of what ultimately defies understanding, making use of rich documentation from class notes and student writing. --Sondra Perl, City University of New York and Director, Holocaust Educators Network--Sondra Perl, City University of New York and Director, Holocaust Educators Network

<p> A concrete, thoughtful guide to teaching an important but difficult subject in a complex way, useful to both secondary and college-level teachers... a rich and critical case study of interdisciplinary teaching. --Sherry Linkon, Youngstown State University--Sherry Linkon, Youngstown State University
