Using Diaries to Teach about the Holocaust
Beyond Anne Frank
“… the need grows more urgent for teachers to achieve a balance
between the history of the catastrophe and the various ways of representing the private ordeal of the victims…. No respectable course or unit on this topic can
afford to ignore either [history or literature].”
