After years of working in Holocaust education not only as an academic and in the university environment but also in the public school system, Schmoll became also an author and consultant for academic and school teaching materials, both digital and traditional print. Based on her own academic research and the studies she has conducted, Schmoll also decided to become active in practice.
Schmoll knows firsthand that the existing teaching and learning materials in Holocaust education could often be improved, and that there are many approaches that would be helpful here–if only they were put into practice. Because of the massive increase in hatred of Jews worldwide, the question whether Holocaust education had failed increasingly arose.
The book teaches academics and practitioners why and what to expect when teaching about the Holocaust. Content, outcome of Holocaust education, gaps in knowledge and the reasons for are examined. In comprehensible explanations, Schmoll shows the potential failures in Holocaust education and why the teaching of history still matters. Hatred of Jews–A Failure of Holocaust Education? bridges the gap between academic research and practical support for educators, teachers, and textbook publishers. A step-by-step guide helps on how to improve it in the future.
