description AbstractThere were many debates and concepts of how to educate about the Holocaust. Scholars bring different perspectives and the experiential Holocaust education has been a prominent one for decades. Between opportunities and threats of Holocaust education, there are also concepts of psychoeducation, storytelling education and human rights education. Their review leads me to the conclusion of the need to design such workshops, meetings and dialogues, which can be deep and meaningful encounters, and at the same time psychologically safe. This review may be a good starting point for designing not only new forms of Holocaust education but also educational experiences connected to other difficult conflict transformations and to educational movements focused on deep emotional exchange and reconciliation.
