Holocaust Learning and Morality - Shay Efrat - Bog

The research presented in this book is an innovating attempt to examine Holocaust Learning Programs and their influence on the formation of moral attitudes among Jewish-Israeli high school students. It aspires to fill a gap in knowledge relating to two major questions: the first is what do Israeli high school students think about the way in which Jews coped with the moral dilemmas that they faced during and after the Holocaust? The second question is what effect present Holocaust learning programs in high school have on the formation of students' moral attitudes. Therefore the main aim of the research is to identify the level of agreement or disagreement with the different moral behaviors of Jews during and after the Holocaust among Israeli high school students who participated in a Holocaust Learning Program, and in addition to examine what moral lessons they may have gained from this learning.
