  abstract  = {The article explores the pedagogical dimension of contemporary visual art which takes the Holocaust as a main subject of representation. It asks how a work of art can offer a viable alternative to the already existing methods or practices of Holocaust education, whose traditional aim is to endow the apprentice with an 'absolute knowledge' of the Holocaust. The article analyzes the characteristics and the effectiveness of a 'performative' approach to teaching about the Holocaust, which relies on an element of interaction and on critical self-reflection, by undertaking a close analysis of Your Coloring Book, - an art installation created by Israeli artist and representative of the third generation after the Holocaust, Ram Katzir.},
