Feature or Footnote? Teachers' Attitudes towards the Teaching of the Holocaust in Primary Schools in Scotland.
Cowan, Paula; Maitles, Henry
Scottish Educational Review, v32 n1 p78-87 May 2000
Survey responses from 42 teachers in 24 Scottish elementary schools and 8 structured interviews suggest that study of the Holocaust is generally considered appropriate for elementary students, parents have few objections, and Holocaust history is set firmly within the context of World War II. Significant barriers to its teaching exist, yet most can be overcome. (Contains 18 references.) (Author/SV)
