ISBN 9789926843137

"The present teaching manual “Holocaust & Peace – Lessons from the Past for the Future,” with its four modules and eleven associated lesson plans, is meant to be a supportive and practical, didactical guide for educators in general, and teachers in particular, who work with primary school, high school and first year university students as well as with young people in formal and non-formal educational sectors. The Manual’s modules on the topics of history, human rights, culture of remembrance and language and literature, as proposed by the authors in their methodology, content and approaches, are a peace education tool for: a) contemporary exploration of the lessons learned from the causes and consequences of mass atrocities, including the Holocaust in different and innovative ways; b) teaching the values of human rights; c) contributing to a constructive and inclusive culture of remembrance and d) reinforcing the role of language and literature in transdisciplinary education, thus contributing to human values and nonviolent, inclusive attitudes."
