-The Pain of Knowledge deals with a subject of supreme importance. Auron writes that what happened to 'us' is supplemented, not contradicted, by what happened to 'others.' This sort of merging will add moral significance and universal strength to the memory of the Holocaust and to our justified demand that the world never forget.-- Yossi Sarid, former education minister of Israel, Ha'aretz
-Auron clearly demonstrates that the exclusion of [genocides that did not involve Jews] from the [Israeli] school curriculum is not unintentional: addressing the genocide of other nations necessarily raises questions concerning attitudes towards minorities in Israel, both past and present, and as such, may be threatening. Threatening, but in Auron's eyes imperative: we must study the atrocities perpetrated against other peoples, not only in order to gain a better understanding of the world around us, but first and foremost in order to accord fun significance to the Holocaust itself.- -Amnon Yuval, Ma'ariv
-Auron's highly interesting book, dealing with issues of Holocaust and Genocide in education, is very important. This is by no means a history book only, nor a book on education. It is rather a study which examines philosophical and moral issues and does so with great depth and sensitivity.- -Salam Jubran, Elhali
-An excellent contribution to what is becoming a significant body of literature in Holocaust and genocide studies. It is recommended for general insights it provides, as well as for the contribution it makes to pedagogy [] should be required reading for all who have the vital human duty to teach about the pain of the ages, whether that is defined as Holocaust or as genocide.---Paul R. Bartrop, Bialik College and Deakin University
