Summary/Abstract: Situated at the discursive congruence of disciplines such as historiography, museology, literature, psychopedagogy or visual arts, the theme of the Holocaust was approached through the prism of each of the disciplines mentioned above, separately, and its representation from a visual, narrative, and educational point of view remains museographically one of the biggest challenges. This article introduces the problematization of the components underlying the scenography of exhibitions on the Holocaust, its educational component, how these representations in museum can be approached, thought, perceived, what is their role and relevance in terms of learning, experience, and aesthetics. The study also offers some general lines of pedagogical principles for approaching Holocaust education in the museum as well as signaling new  progressive directions of learning.
