Abstract:

Should a Holocaust course taught in a Jewish school be different in some way from a Holocaust course taught in a public school setting? My answer to this question is a strongly affirmative one, and in what follows it is my intention to outline some of the ways in which I believe a Holocaust course in a Jewish must differ.
