each article. The first article is from August 3, 2006 and disputing about how Utah schools are
not allowed to discuss the Holocaust and how teachers in the community feel that the Holocaust
should be studied. The article discusses how education in Utah is pressing to teach the
Holocaust for multiple benefits stated in the article. The second article is from April 25, 2006
and discusses how a teacher used Night in addition with other novels covering the Holocaust to
teach and see improvement in the at-risk students. The Tulsa article discusses how the students
could relate to the “survivors of intense violence” from the Holocaust, connected to the literature,
and improved academically in the process. The last article discusses teaching tolerance and how
important it is for teachers to diffuse myths of the Holocaust in a pursuit to teach the truths
behind the Holocaust. It goes into how a teacher wrote to Elie and collected Holocaust materials
from traveling around and collecting videos and books to enhance the teaching of the Holocaust.
As well, the article spoke about a “resource pool” for teacher that was being compiled of
scholars and Holocaust survivors who engage in school presentations/speeches.
