Abstract

There are a number of ways in which the Holocaust can be taught at various educational levels. This article explains the experiences of one university geography field course, which seeks to use ‘conventional’ landscape study approaches to provide an understanding of aspects of the Holocaust. It describes the methodology of the course, the experiences of students and staff, and details the difficulties of such study. In particular, it emphasizes the need for sensitive staff‐student relations and the wider educational impact of such work. Whilst stressing the uniqueness of such a course in a geography degree, it commends the strategy to teachers in many other disciplines.
