In the elementary school curriculum in Serbia there is no particular teaching topic, nor teaching unit which deals with the Holocaust. Current content in the history textbooks related to the Holocaust are...

Thank you for this very interesting and useful video. I would like to highlighted the message that prof. Foster said, that "one of the most important things an educator can do is re-humanise the victims, to tell their stories, to emphasise their narratives and their perspectives". This is really crucial.
Also, I like the proposal from prof. Foster, that...

That's true Maarit. Many countries have very good strategies and excellent national policies, but unfortunately in the practice they are not following those papers. We need more practical work and real implementations!
