Abstract
(type = abstract)
The rationale for the dissertation is based on the needs for a Holocaust Music Education Curriculum (HMEC) and Holocaust music research guide for grades K-12, in response to NJ Governor Christine Todd Whitman's 1994 Holocaust-genocide education mandate. Extant Holocaust-genocide curricula do not include the wealth of music composed by the Jewish people during the European Holocaust (1933-1945). Jewish Holocaust survivors and their musical manuscripts from European ghettos and concentration camps provide reliable and valid historic melodies that reflect their World War II experiences. The various melodies include lullabies, folk songs, partisan songs, and death marches. In addition to survivors' interviews, focus groups with K-12 music teachers and K-12 parents provided humanistic guidance for creating the HMEC. The purpose of the dissertation is to create a HMEC that is interdisciplinary among compatible subject areas: vocal music, general K-5 education, English, and social studies. Holocaust music is the focal point of the HMEC and is used among all subject areas to encourage racial respect and religious and cultural diversity. Understanding by Design (Wiggins and McTighe, 1998), a curriculum design theory, grounds the methodology of the dissertation. The HMEC is also grounded in aesthetic, praxial, and spiritual music education philosophies, giving teachers and students educational and emotional support and flexibility to face the challenges of Holocaust music education. Holocaust events and lessons of racial respect may have a better chance of coming alive for students through active listening, analyzing, and re-creating Holocaust melodies. This qualitative curriculum-design research follows the New Jersey mandated Holocaust-Genocide Studies K-12 Curriculum Guidelines and the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. The researcher's premise is: students may take ownership of racial respect through studying the history, prose, and music of the Holocaust Jews.
