Post-Holocaust Religious Education for German Women (Tubinger Perspectives on Pastoral Theology & the Pedagogy of Religion S.)

Post-Holocaust Religious Education for German Women focuses on the experiences of second- and third-generation non-Jewish women, highlighting their dual roles as both descendants of a perpetrator community and victims of a patriarchal system. How can they learn to face this perpetrator heritage and integrate it into their identity as women, as Germans, and as Christians? Drawing from a review of literature and empirical field studies, Mayer concludes by offering a relational approach to religious education: an approach towards a more constructive interaction between Jewish and Christian communities.
