Defining lessons

A historical inquiry into the study and teaching of the Holocaust in American Jewish primary and secondary schools, summer camps, and youth groups. Traces postwar Jewish educators' changing perceptions of the place and function of the Holocaust in the Jewish school program and explains why these educators - teachers, principals, curriculum writers, and pedagogical theorists - came to think knowledge of the Holocaust was critical to the development and self-perception of American Jewish children.
