Teaching about the Holocaust without Survivors: ITF Publication

First-person survivor testimony has been an integral part of Holocaust education since its inception. We are now faced with the necessity of teaching the Holocaust without survivors and other first-person eyewitnesses, which has already become a reality in many parts of the educational world in most, if not all countries. Fortunately, there are large collections of oral histories that are readily available for classroom use in whole or in part. The ITF's Education Working Group has developed this document in order to assist educators in view of this new reality. The document was released for publication by decision of the ITF Plenary.
