Participants in South African educator workshops focusing on teaching the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda frequently declare that apartheid was also genocide. These comments seem like a cry to recognize that South Africa's past of human-rights abuses and pain also deserves a definition, and genocide seems to be the desired title of ultimate suffering. How do you teach the Holocaust and use it as a tool to understand human rights and democracy in a country recovering from the legacy of apartheid? Is it possible to make connections between the Holocaust and current issues in South Africa, such as xenophobia? And what are the best practices with respect to teaching the Holocaust in a large and diverse country, with 11 official languages and vastly different levels of education? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
