Testimony, Holocaust Education and Making the Unthinkable Thinkable
Suissa, Judith
Journal of Philosophy of Education, v50 n2 p285-299 May 2016
A great deal of philosophical work has explored the complex conceptual intersection between ethics and epistemology in the context of issues of testimony and belief, and much of this work has significant educational implications. In this paper, I discuss a troubling example of a case of testimony that seems to pose a problem for some established ways of thinking about these issues and that, in turn, suggests some equally troubling educational conclusions.
