Die Bedeutung des Holocaust und der Gedenkstättenpädagogik im Unterricht. Ein historisch-pädagogischer Vergleich zwischen Österreich und Bayern

In the centre of this research project is a content-oriented comparison based on categories regarding the thematization of the Holocaust in 46 history textbooks for the first stage of secondary education since the beginning of the Second Republic and the new foundation of the Free State of Bavaria in the year of 1945. Based on this thematic constraint, three research questions emerge: 1.How has the representation of the Holocaust in the textbooks changed since the beginning of the Second Republic? What has changed? What has remained the same? 2. What can be deduced from the textbooks concerning the political discourse about the Holocaust? 3. To what extent are the content and the pedagogical-didactical concepts prescribed by the curricula implemented in the textbooks? (By the publisher)
