Industry Reviews

Paula Cowan and Henry Maitles have written an excellent book. The authors declare that "the central aim of this book, as its title suggests is to support teachers and educators in their teaching of the Holocaust in schools". They have more than succeeded. There is a good discussion of centrally important issues about how the Holocaust is characterised and valuable elaborations of how it may be included in the work of schools and in other contexts. The issues are extremely sensitive and there will be continuing controversies. This book makes a signifcant contribution to the development of education for a better world. -- Ian Davies This is an important and useful book. It introduces the sometimes difficult issue of how to introduce the significance of the Holocaust and of antisemitism to children and young people. The authors are experts in the field, and write from a background of teaching in schools and to student teachers, with authority and clarity. It is first and foremost a practical book, full of advice, suggestions, provocations and a wealth of background information, and pointers to further study and reading. But it also gives a closely argued analysis of the nature of the Holocaust, and why it is so important that young people continue to study it, react to it, learn from it - it is a work of theory that critically informs our ideas of the purposes of education -- Alistair Ross
