Director Shulamit Imber Presentation by Dr. Nili Keren Keren, Nili Presentation by Dr. Nili Keren This workshop is dedicated to the role of pedagogy in creating individual and collective consciousness concerning the Holocaust. In many countries a growing interest in the events of the Holocaust can be traced in the last ten years. There is a growing number of educational systems, schools and students who are involved in Holocaust studies. The reasons for this phenomenon vary from one country to another. Israel, United States and Germany are the leading countries in this respect but other countries like England, France, Poland etc, are also deeply involved in the educational work. The need to teach the events of the Holocaust is also effected by the increasing phenomena like Xenophobia, Racism and Antisemitism in democratic countries and within liberal societies. We belong to those who have not lost their faith in humanistic education and some of us have accumulated some experience in integrating Holocaust studies in the schools’ curricula as a tool to promote humanistic values. The participants in this workshop are experts in various aspects of education and especially in teaching about the Holocaust. We are all interested in their theoretical basis, and in their practical work. Of course they are going to share with us their achievements as well as their frustrations. Teaching about the Holocaust is in many aspects like entering a minefield: One has to be very careful and cautious, and to take one step at a time. But once we have hit the road we cannot go back. Holocaust education is a mission for lifetime as many of us experience every day in our life. I am sure that this workshop will contribute to a better knowledge and understanding and we will leave this room richer and more stimulated than we have entered. >> Back to top				Introduction Opening Session: Messages and speeches Plenary Sessions: Messages and speeches Workshops, Panels and Seminars Summary Report on Panels and Workshops Panel 1: Holocaust Education - Where Are We Going?
