New publication: How to teach about the Holocaust after 24 February 2022

insidethegatesWe are glad to share the proceedings of the working group on “How to teach about the Holocaust after 24 February 2022”. Throughout most of the summer the participants have been working on recommendations for their colleagues who already teach about the Holocaust but might need advice on what should change with regard to the ongoing russian aggression war against Ukraine. Now the text is ready for wide professional audience.

We thank all the members of the working group who invested their time and effort in this text, and also our first professional readers for their feedback.

We are also grateful to the transnational project “Learning to Remember” for making the proceedings and the preparation of this edition possible.
