Rezensionen

I strongly recommend a new teaching guide- Mira Hirsch, Janet E. Rubin and Arnold Mittelman, Enacting History: A Practical Guide to Teaching the Holocaust through Theater (Routeldge, 2020). As far as I know, it is the first book of its kind to integrate both lesson plans and theatrical materials for teachers of the Holocaust in middle and high schools. Each chapter begins with the historical context and each lesson provides directions on how to use the theatrical material to advance the students understanding of the history. It includes verbatim testimony, scripted scenes and monologues and best practices for performing them. This is a major contribution to our pedagogical toolbox.
