We chose three ‘Rs’ in our title to represent our shared purposes: Remembrance, Respect, and Resilience. In remembering the Holocaust, we work towards respecting the memories of millions of people who were killed and who died in the wake of war and genocide […] The textbook contains approximately 30 scholarly essays and is subdivided into the following sections: Enablers; Protagonists; Settings; Aftereffects; Representations.
