Based on qualitative interviews, "Memory and pedagogy" takes inventory of the representations and fears teachers can encounter when they broach the Holocaust, especially if their personal background echoes that part of history. The author then describes different postures they can adopt ‒ centred victim empathy, genocide as a general theme or focused on "lessons" from the past. This book, one of the first research projects on this topic in Switzerland, is a contribution to a collective reflection on the current and future transmission of the history and memory of the destruction of European Jews.
