Abstract
Wie werden jüdische Geschichte und Kultur im neueren deutschen Geschichtsschulbuch der Sekundarstufe I dargestellt? Die Autoren untersuchen die Repräsentationen jüdischer Geschichte in den Lehreinheiten von der Antike bis hin zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in den Schulbüchern mehrerer Bundesländer, und zwar sowohl im Hinblick auf historisch-inhaltliche Einordnungen und Interpretationen als auch unter vermittlungsproblematischem Aspekt. Dass jüdische Geschichte trotz eines mehrfach geforderten Perspektivwechsels meist als Verfolgungs- und Opfergeschichte erzählt wird, ist ein wesentlicher Befund des Bandes.
How do recent German lower-secondary school textbooks depict Jewish history and culture? Focusing both on historical contextualisations and interpretations of content and on issues around its teaching in the classroom, the authors of this volume explore representations of Jewish history in textbook units spanning the period from antiquity to the National Socialist era, in books from a number of German federal states. One of the volume’s key findings is that, despite a number of calls for a change of perspective that would take into account the diverse facets of Jewish history across the centuries, textbooks continue to narrate Jewish history largely as a history revolving exclusively around victimhood and persecution.
