Abstract	[This document] has been produced as part of the Council of Europe's history project "Learning and teaching about the history of Europe in the 20th century". Given the rise of anti-Semitism in parts of Europe, the accessibility of "denial" Internet sites and the isolationist stand taken by certain European political leaders today, Holocaust teaching was given a prominent place in the project. The European ministers of Education have also decided to insitute in schools a Holocaust day of remembrance, reflecting each state's particular experience. although some countries have high standards for Holocaust teaching, others are lacking in material. Teachers often do not have in-depth knowledge of the subject and, unless they are in a position to carry out personal research, do not know how to aproach a topic much too vast to be categorised simply as "history". This teaching resource, based on the work of such widely recognised authors ... offers teachers a body of knowledge for use in course planning. In addition, the author brings to the forefront facts and figures on victims often "overlooked", Roma/ Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses. Included is a certain amount of material about the nature and implementation of the genocide in different countries. Beyond any specific local characteristics, what emerges from the succinct descritions of how and where this genocide was carried out is the comprehensiveness of the nazi enterprise. (DIPF/orig.).
