It demonstrates the importance of family background, family discussion and a general interest in history. It also displays how teachers’ willingness to bring up the Nazi period at a comparatively early age, among other things, depends upon the socio-economic status of the school children’s parents.

The Memory of Nazism and the Migration Society: Fears, Experiences and Attributions. Intergenerational Historical Consciousness Year of publication: 2008 Author: Angela Kühner The original title: NS-Erinnerung und Migrationsgesellschaft: Befüchtungen, Erfahrungen und Zuschreibungen(Einsichten und Perspektiven, Bayerische Zeitschrift für Politik und Geschichte, 1(8), pp. 52-65) The articles deals with a specific part of the pilot-study (see Kühner et al. 2008) on teachers’ and students’ experiences and representations, i.e. with the dimension of a migration-society. The author suggests to use the idea of “a society of migration as a context,” instead of the “migrants as target group.” This approach allows the author to work out several ways in which the students and teachers position themselves towards the national-socialist past of German society, and how the attribution of guilt, shame or esponsibility to several groups of “Others” serves as an interactive pattern in a migration society. Migration can therefore offer on one hand a tool to project their own fears or feelings, but on the other hand, it can also offer an opportunity for dialog and a higher degree of reflexivity on the past and the present.

Overview of Selected Research Results Year of publication: 2008 Author: Angela Kühner | Phil. C. Langer | Robert Sigel The original title: Ausgewählte Studienergebnisse im Überblick(Einsichten und Perspektiven, Bayerische Zeitschrift für Politik und Geschichte, 1(8), pp. 76-82)The article deals with the results of a pilot study carried out in Bayern, which focuses on the subjective experiences and representations of teachers and students from a social-psychology perspective. The research questions: How does the educational situation reflect remembrance today? How do teachers and students interpret situations of “Holocaust Education,” and what feelings do they report? The study carried out qualitative interviews with students and their teachers, and analyzes the pedagogical setting of history classes in secondary schools. Intercultural and intergenerational dimensions are also analyzed. The authors conclude that both sides, students and teachers, show a high degree of interest to the topic, but also a tendency to Selbst-Überforderung ; thus, concrete possibilities and spaces for self-reflection about their own feelings and conflicting pedagogical aims must be recognized and supported.

“Why Do We Have to We Apologize for It All the Time, We Can’t Help it”: History Education between Memory-Pedagogy Challenges and Fantasies about Effectiveness Year of publication: 2006 Author: Matthias Proske The original title: “Wieso Müssen Wir Uns Jedes Mal Wieder dafür Entschuldigen, Wir Können Doch Gar Nichts Mehr Dafür”: Geschichtsunterricht zwischen Erinnerungspädagogischen Herausforderungen und Wirksamkeitsphantasien(Widerstand sachunterricht, 7, pp. 1–10)Against the background of public expectations on the schools’ history education, the article connects a theoretical analysis of the changes in the German historical culture and their consequences for history education about the Holocaust and Nazism with a discussion about how students and teachers take on these themes in educational practice. This is exemplified with a case study from a 9th grade history class. The above abstract is taken from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Education Research Project.

Constructions of Generational Relations: Childhood and the Theme of National Socialism in Primary-School Education Year of publication: 2012 Author: Alexandra Flügel The original title: Konstruktionen des Generationalen Verhältnisses: Kindheit und das Thema Nationalsozialismus im Grundschulunterricht(Kinder und Zeitgeschichte: Jüdische Geschichte und Gegenwart, Nationalsozialismus und Antisemitismus, Supplement 8, pp. 75–84) This is a qualitative study, based on the results in Fügel 2009, of German primary school children’s communication about Nazism and the Holocaust. It demonstrates how interwoven these exchanges are with general German memory discourses about these topics, but also how the children already at the age of 9–10 reflect upon their need to learn about this dark side of German history.The above abstract is taken from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Education Research Project.
