The Holocaust : memories, research, reference

At a time when the Holocaust is being integrated as a course or unit in the K-12 curriculum, teachers will find this edited work of immense value. Most significantly, this volume suggests how professionals must get the story right and also be sensitive not only to the Jewish story during the Holocaust, but other groups such as Roma and Sinti, and other forms of genocide which continue today. Contains 25 contributions from poets, academics, scholars, and survivors. Intended for teachers and librarians, the text is divided between personal retellings, research sources, and reference sources. Representative contributions include five poems from "Blue Tattoo" by Lyn Lifshin, and discussion of preparing a Holocaust unit for high school students, genocide studies and future directions of Holocaust research, the role of the Holocaust historian, and Holocaust research using the Internet. Includes bibliographical references and index. 320 pages ; 23 cm
