In 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust? Almost 10,000 students aged 11 to 18 participated in the research. It was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The study indicated that the vast majority of young people found the subject interesting and relevant. However, it also revealed that many students did not have clear knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust.
Written in direct response to the findings of the 2016 national study, this textbook significantly improves understanding of the Holocaust by:
> Providing you with an appropriate historical overview of key aspects of the Holocaust
> Helping you to understand the long-standing hatred of Jews (i.e., the roots of antisemitism)
> Deepening your knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust
> Encouraging you to challenge common myths and misconceptions (e.g., that Hitler was solely responsible
