When did Holocaust education come to American public schools?
One of the students in my undergrad course on history education is researching the advent of Holocaust education in the US public school curriculum. Because all curricula are local in the States, there are many possible times and places for such a change to the curriculum, but some trends would be interesting to think about, if they can be detected. My first hunch is that this is related to headlines like the Eichmann trial in the early 60s and to the publication history of the Anne Frank diary in accessible paperback that could be used in middle school classes (where it is now commonly r

Re: QUERY: Performative practices of Holocaust comemmoration
Magdalene Gross has published articles in the Journal of Curriculum Studies, History of Education Quarterly, and Intercultural Education on Holocaust memorialization in Polish schools and textbooks, and is expanding her research into heritage tourism, murals, and reconciliation.
