Book Description
How do schools worldwide treat the Holocaust as a subject? In which countries does the Holocaust form part of classroom teaching? Are representations of the Holocaust always accurate, balanced and unprejudiced in curricula and textbooks? This study, carried out by UNESCO and the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, compares for the first time representations of the Holocaust in school textbooks and national curricula. Drawing on data which includes countries in which there exists no or little information about representations of the Holocaust, the study shows where the Holocaust is established in official guidelines, and contains a close textbook study, focusing on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of representations and historical narratives. The book highlights evolving practices worldwide and thus provides education stakeholders with comprehensive documentation about current trends in curricula directives and textbook representations of the Holocaust. It further formulates recommendations that will help policy-makers provide the educational means by which pupils may develop Holocaust literacy.

Book Description
Kinder und Jugendliteratur (kurz: KJL) ist fr viele Menschen der erste Berhrungspunkt mit Literatur. Mit den Helden unserer Kindheit haben wir mitgefiebert, geweint, gelitten und uns gefreut. Gerade in der Zeit der Pubert„t und Adoleszenz kann Literatur einen maágeblichen Einfluss auf den Sozialisationsprozess haben, dessen Ergebnis die jeweilige Identit„t ist. Diese Suche nach Identit„t in der Pubert„t, die Abgrenzung von der alten Gemeinschaft und die Suche nach einer neuen werden in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur natrlich behandelt. Die verschiedensten Bcher und Geschichten behandeln Probleme mit den Eltern, Streitereien mit Freunden und Geschwistern, die erste Liebe oder das Gefhl der eigenen Unvollendetheit, das einen manchmal berf„llt. Diese Suche nach Identit„t und Gemeinschaft wird je nach Epoche und Adressat anders dargestellt. Aber nicht nur die realen Zust„nde, sondern auch die Intentionen und Ansprche, die sich hinter der KJL teilweise verbergen, spielen da mit hinein. Faszinierend ist gerade die Frage, wie die Suche nach Identit„t und Gemeinschaft in der KJL der DDR beschrieben wurde. Nach der Lektre von Texten, die die Anforderungen der SED an die KJL darstellten oder von Werken, die der monolithischen Ansicht zur KJL in der DDR entsprechen, dr„ngt sich die Vermutung auf, dass gerade hier die Entwicklung einer eigenst„ndigen, kritischen Identit„t nicht gewnscht wurde. Sollten die Protagonisten lieber kommunistisch gepr„gte Einheitsmenschen sein, ohne eigene Identit„t der sozialistischen Gesellschaft treu ergeben? Oder spiegelt die KJL ein ganz anderes Bild der Suche nach Identit„t und Gemeinschaft wider? In dieser Studie soll gezeigt werden, wie in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur der DDR die Suche nach Identit„t und Gemeinschaft dargestellt wird. Fragen sind dabei, welche Botschaften die Kunstwelt der KJL an ihre Leser vermittelt sowie ob sie Tendenzen zur sozialistischen Erziehung erkennen l„sst oder einen kritischen Standpunkt einnimmt.

Book Description
On a business trip to Tunisia, Preising, a leading Swiss industrialist, is invited to spend the week with the daughter of a local gangster. He accompanies her to the wedding of two London city traders at a desert luxury resort that was once the site of an old Berber oasis. With the wedding party in full swing and the bride riding up the aisle on a camel, no one is aware that the global financial system stands on the brink of collapse. As the wedding guests nurse their hangovers, they learn that the British pound has depreciated tenfold, and their world begins to crumble around them. So begins Barbarian Spring, the debut novel from Jonas Lüscher, a major emerging voice in European fiction. The timely and unusual novel centers on a culture clash between high finance and the value system of the Maghreb. Provocative and entertaining, Barbarian Spring is a refreshingly original and all-too-believable satire for our times.

Book Description
The grand duchy of Luxembourg was created after the Napoleonic Wars, but at the time there was no 'nation' that identified with the emergent state. This book analyses how politicians, scholars and artists have initiated and contributed to nation-building processes in Luxembourg since the nineteenth century, processes that – as this book argues – are still ongoing. The focus rests on three types of representations of nationhood: a shared past, a common homeland and a national language. History was written so as to justify the country's political independence. Territorial borders shifted meaning, constantly repositioning the national community. The local dialect – initially considered German variant – was gradually transformed into the 'national language', Luxembourgish.
