Introduction
Focusing on the causes of the Holocaust and reflecting on its consequences makes it more than interesting to gain knowledge and insight on the role of civil servants during the Holocaust. This historical and scientific point of view demands research in order to make a translation to more universal mechanisms like bystander effects, dehumanization, peer pressure, obedience to authority … ; mechanisms that still play in today’s modern societies. Analyzing and tackling these mechanisms by reflection, discussion and dilemma training makes ‘learning from history’ an extremely valuable instrument in professionalizing civil services.
It is also important to connect research and education. The study of dynamics of violence is a research theme as well for historians as for behavioral scientists. The holocaust was and still is, the general framework for comparing suchlike mechanisms in other situations of collective violence. More than ever there is a need for specific training programs on these issues. Networking, sharing and benchmarking are crucial to raise awareness and knowledge on Holocaust and remembrance education.
