ABSTRACT

One of the most widely adopted—and controversial—approaches to moral education addresses the specific issues of prejudice, conformity, and individual responsibility. The moral education dimension of Facing History and Ourselves has two elements. The first is attention to features of the students' own lives, development, and identities, especially as these bear on issues of moral responsibility and civic engagement. The second moral focus of the Facing History curriculum is a consideration of a broad set of social injustices, linked to elements of the history the students have just explored. In fact, Facing History devotes considerable space to anti-Semitism, as even a cursory examination of its resource book makes clear. Certainly any study of the Holocaust must include the history of European anti-Semitism. This chapter suggests that the Holocaust should not be taught as part of moral education at all, but only as part of the history curriculum—does not depend on a uniqueness claim.
