The discussion in Germany regarding teaching about the Holocaust in multicultural classrooms mirrors an ongoing debate about the reality of present-day Germany: instead of dealing with the many learners with non-German backgrounds residing in the country, various educators have instead complained about problems relating to general discipline or a lack of motivation on the part of the learners themselves. At the Educational and Memorial Site House of the Wannsee-Conference in Berlin, an approach which deviates from one that "blames the learners" was developed. The core concept is "appreciation as a teaching method" which not only respects multicultural realities, but also creates space for learners to contribute their own (and/or their parents' historical) experiences. The supportive role of educators is crucial in achieving this. (Contains 11 notes.)
