The educational field of National Socialism and the Holocaust is an indispensable part of historical-political learning in schools, non-formal education and teacher training. This manual gives new impetus to the theoretical discussion as well as to the practical educational work. Basic theoretical texts are complemented by methodological suggestions as well as by accounts based on personal experience and presentations of projects with national and international perspectives. The fact that today, more than sixty years after the events, adolescents have hardly any direct  access to this phase of German and European history, and the question of how to deal with this challenge, are here of central importance. The contributions in the manual focus on the following themes: The fundamentals of National Socialism and the Holocaust as an educational field. School practices: Learning from classroom instruction. School practices: Learning from projects. Practices in teacher education. Practices in memorial sites and non-formal educational institutions. International approaches. (By the publisher)
