Recenzje

"The book's format is highly accessible. Each chapter includes an abstract, keywords, and notes, which combine with the book's comprehensive bibliography to result in a piece of scholarship which is clear and easy to navigate ... an especially useful tool for practitioners and researchers of Holocaust education, Gray's insightful and clear style results in a book which would equally be of great interest to a more general readership." - The Wiener Library

"This ... volume provides a solid introduction to the field and yet will interest specialists, not least because of the lesser-known literature unearthed ... and his ability to ferret out apt quotations." - European Education
