Abstract

This article reviews the education of the burdensome past in South Korea and shows the implications of the Holocaust education in the Western countries upon it. It begins with presenting structural and situational conditions in which the national past was dealt with and then examines how and to what extent the Holocaust education has developed in the country. Lastly, it proposes a strategy which could facilitate the education of its own burdensome past as well as the Holocaust in the country. To pursue the Holocaust education more actively, the Korean teachers are in need of a long-term strategy—a transition from regional to national level on one hand and from outside to inside of the school system on the other hand. The most important task lies in gaining an approval from all the stakeholders for such a policy.
