| Shrnutí: | Teaching the Holocaust based on personal experienceThe history of the destruction of European Jewry is difficult to comprehend. Its legacy is hard to acknowledge, doubly so to teach. Seeing that it generates strong reactions, questions, even hostility, didactics stricto senso can no longer be applied and teaching the Holocaust enters a more moral zone. This, in turn, gives history teachers license to altogether avoid the potentially confrontational subject of the complex relationship that Christians have traditionally had with the Jewish people.Since this tragic episode concerns the Jewish People, evoking their tragedy raises among both teachers and students a whole gamut of feelings that vary from empathy to repulsion, even total rejection. Clearly, despite the lesson of the Holocaust, Jews today are still subjected to anti-Semitism. Hatred of Jews is on the increase and still endangers both Jews and Israelis. |
