In 1994 Haynes conducted a nationwide survey designed to yield a picture of Holocaust education at U.S. church-related liberal arts colleges. A questionnaire was mailed to 521 institutions. Of the 317 which responded, only 91 offered a regular course on the Holocaust. The results of the survey were disappointing. States that the Holocaust was a rupture in two traditions: the Christian one and that of liberal education. Both Christian education and liberal education bear responsibility for the Holocaust, because both produced ordinary educated persons who were nevertheless capable of committing genocide. The church-related colleges of liberal arts have a religious obligation to teach the Holocaust as part of higher education's penance for this. The Christian scholar must realize the responsibility of Christianity for the Holocaust. Proposes practical strategies and measures for including the Holocaust in college curricula. Pp. 157-170 contain the questionnaire, graphs displaying the results of the survey, and a list of the colleges involved.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.
