The Holocaust has become a point of reference worldwide to raise awareness about violations of human rights and state violence. What is the importance of Holocaust education in regions of the world that have no direct relation to the history of the Jewish people and the crimes of Nazism, especially in Latin America? Is there a rise of relevant educational practices internationally as a result of the expansion of education about the Holocaust ? How can educators address a subject so complex and emotionally charged in changing multicultural societies ? This UNESCO publication brings together the contributions of important historians and educators around the world and frames current debates in the field, emphasizing the issues that educators in Latin America are facing and revealing the reasons why it is vital to continue teaching Holocaust history in the world today, regardless of where we live.
