Abstract

The criteria of and research approaches to textbook analysis are manifold and diversified. The present study is based on the methodological foundations of comparative textbook analysis as it is typologized by Wiater (2003), and it focuses on one specific segment (the Holocaust), examining how oral history, personal narratives and relevant digital online content appear in teaching history. Our paper presents a microlevel analysis, specifically addressing textbook content, an approach fundamentally rooted in educational sociology. Our main questions focus on how textbooks used in Central Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine) support history teaching with respect to civic education and subject specific value transfer, and what congruence there is regarding video content available through ICT and the new challenges of teaching the screenager generation.
