Education Supplement for International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Abstract

About This Issue This Education Supplement has been created in honor of International Holocaust Remem-brance Day, marked on 27 January of each year. It begins with a brief background of the commemoration day and then moves into the harder work of defining the Holocaust. Here, students are presented with five definitions of the Holocaust and asked to read them for similarities and differences before considering which they feel is most appropriate. The heart of this supplement consists of three Genocide Studies International articles. Each has been selected because of its important content and the critical conversation it will provoke. In addition, each piece employs a different style of writing commonly seen in academic articles.
