Críticas:

Much-needed, well-informed, distinctive and comprehensive-these are only a few of the recommending words deserved by The Holocaust and Other Genocides, a book that will be immensely valuable to teachers and students alike. --John K. Roth, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College Thoughtful questions are at the heart of the educational process. The Holocaust and Other Genocides, an unusually fine and creative curriculum about the Holocaust and other genocides, is filled with questions that will stimulate continuing inquiry on the part of teachers and students alike. And it will keep them in dialogue with one another. --Carol Rittner, Distinguished Professor of Holocaust Studies, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey In an age when violence seems to surround us, studying the Holocaust and other genocides is more critical in understanding the modern human experience. This volume represents a unique collaboration of scholars and teachers to provide a flexible curriculum that can help tell the story of genocides, of which the Holocaust looms as most significant. --Stephen Feinstein, Director, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, University of Minnesota

Reseña del editor:

The Nazi genocide of the Jews, while unique in some ways, was not the only genocide of the 20th century. This innovative book, the product of a year-long collaboration of scholars from many disciplines, systematically ties the teaching of the Holocaust to an analysis of the genocides in Armenia, Bosnia and Kosovo, and Rwanda. The book consists of five parts: introduction; history of the Holocaust; representations of the Holocaust in literature, film and the arts; other genocides; and ethics. The curriculum, shaped with feedback from those who teach Holocaust studies, consists mainly of primary documents and their analysis. Each section includes a general introduction to a body of knowledge that reflects current research and detailed introductions to particular documents. Throughout the book, there are provocative discussion questions and suggestions for further reading and other resources. Each section features ""links"" to other parts to encourage interdisciplinary reflection. The final section on ethics addresses the difficult questions raised by genocide.
