Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the contributions to the book, which marks the most extensive collection of Holocaust education research from around the world. The chapter highlights some important trends in Holocaust education, particularly its global expansion and the passing of the generation that witnessed the Shoah. Research is expanding, but little is documented about the work of major Holocaust education organizations, and more work across languages is needed. Expectations are exceptionally high, but are not rooted in empirical results. Rather, the seemingly powerful potential of Holocaust education begs for further study. Studies about the contested meanings of the Holocaust are particularly helpful.
