title = "Through psychological lenses: University students' reflections following the {"}Psychology of the Holocaust{"} course",
abstract = "While Holocaust related activities and educational programs around the world are growing in number, published reports on their impact are scarce, especially on the university level. The free responses of 94 Jewish-Israeli university students who took the course {"}Psychology of the Holocaust{"} yielded eight themes. The results reflect a change of emphasis and movement from a mainly particularistic interpretation of the Holocaust to a more universalistic understanding of the Holocaust. This movement is explained by the occurrence of two reflective processes: situational and universal reflexivity of genocide and reflexivity regarding the personal and collective impact of genocide.",

note = "Funding Information: 3. The course was a joint venture of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and the Open University of Israel (OUI). Although the contents of the course are identical in both universities, the modes of its delivery vary depending on the institution. As the modes of teaching were different and the number of students at the OUI answering the questionnaire was small (11 of 30) their responses are not included here, although their answers were quite similar in many respects to those provided by their counterparts at BGU. The development of the course was made possible through the support of the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Council of Higher Education, Israel, and the Claims Committee.",
