"The World Reacts to the Holocaust" (1996) David S. Wyman, Editor
Charles H. Rosenzveig, Project Director Covering twenty-two countries and the United Nations, this volume carefully traces the contentions and controversies involved in the efforts to come to terms with the Holocaust, from the attitudes and perceptions of 1945 to the political, economic, and cultural legacies of the 1990s. Following a standard format, the essays, all written by prominent scholars, begin with a brief history of the Jews in each country prior to the Holocaust. They address the characteristics of the Jewish settlements, the presence of anti-Semitism and any related violence, the role of Jews in the society, and the nature of the relationship between Jews and non-Jews. A brief narrative of the Holocaust in each country follows. Among the issues examined are the extent of the human destruction, the degree of collaboration, Jewish reactions, and efforts to save the Jews. The essays then proceed to the post World War II era and recount the treatment of Holocaust survivors upon their return; the postwar trials of war criminals; the changes in the culture and economy of the postwar Jewish community and its position in the society; the political, literary, and historical responses to the Holocaust; and the evolving attitudes toward Jews and Jewish culture.

"Survey of U.S. Federal, U.S. State, and Canadian Provincial Support for Holocaust Education" (2000)  Conducted by the Holocaust Memorial Center
The Holocaust Memorial Center is pleased to present to the public the results of our survey of federal, state, and Canadian provincial support for Holocaust education. We know from the public's response to their experiences at the HMC, and most especially from the responses of young people, that what they learn here is the kind of education that matters most. The importance of these lessons in a free and democratic society cannot be underestimated. Exposure to the depths to which humankind can sink makes very clear the necessity of committing ourselves to overcoming prejudice and accepting diversity, to encouraging and supporting righteous behavior as opposed to giving in to the base instincts of hatred and violence. It is our hope that the survey results will prove to be a further stimulus and inspiration to those governments already involved in Holocaust education and a catalyst for beginning such programs in those that have not yet, for one reason or another, participated in this vital educational effort.
