Commemorating the seventy-year anniversary of the Holocaust in Hungary, this book focuses on current practices in teaching the Holocaust.

In June 2014, at a conference co-organised by the Tom Lantos Institute, a group of professors, scholars, museum directors, and activists involved in memorial projects met at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss the future of Holocaust Studies. This subsequent book publication considers the potential of Holocaust memorialization and memory work to serve as a catalyst for addressing discrimination today by exploring different innovative teaching practices in higher education as well as bold and creative civic and institutional initiatives.

The authors who contributed to this book project come from across Europe and North America and their work showcases new directions in Holocaust education and commemoration.

The book, published by the Tom Lantos Institute is edited by Andrea Pető, associate professor at CEU and Helga Thorson, associate professor at the University of Victoria, Canada. The publication includes an Introduction by Anna-Mária Bíró, director of TLI.

Free copies are available at TLI. However, we also encourage those interested to download the electronic version of the book below.
