The Public History Turn in History Education Seen Through the Lens of the Polish–German History Textbook
This article presents the changes in history education that bring school history closer to public history and discusses the potential of a textbook as a tool for fostering public history. The analysis of the chapters dealing with the Second World War from the Polish–German history textbook, Europe – Our History , provides arguments in support of the claim that history education may become history for the public – by engaging pupils, not just prov…
History Education and Public History – Introduction
The articles in this section of International Public History prove that the issues arising from a dialogue between public history and history education need to go far beyond the cooperation between school teachers and museum educators, are much more complicated and multifaceted, and that both dialogue and critical reflection remain a postulate rather than reality. The examples from three countries: the United States, Greece, and Poland (with Germ…
Footprints of Polonia and Public History
Recent years have witnessed the growing popularity of academic interest in public history. Conceptualized in the 1970s as either a professional career path for history postgraduates, an alternative to an academic career, or as a grassroots social activism focused on the past of peoples marginalized by academic historiography, it has found ways to expand its scope of interest, tools to reach and engage the public, and eventually, a route to return…

Textbooks as Propaganda
Textbooks as Propaganda analyses post-Second World War Polish school textbooks to show that Communist indoctrination started right from the first grade. This indoctrination intensified as students grew older, but its general themes and major ideas were consistent regardless of the age of the readers and the discipline covered. These textbooks promoted the new, post-war Poland’s boundaries, its alliance and friendship with the Soviet Union, and co…

The system of textbook approval in Poland under communist rule (1944–1989) as a tool of power of the regime
This paper analyses the process of production and regulation of school textbooks in Poland under communist rule. The stages of textbook approval were as follows: selection of authors; editorial work at the publishing house; discussions in the commissions of the Ministry of Education; decisions of the censorship office. It is argued that the Polish United Workers’ Party (i.e. the Polish communist party) played a dominant role at every step of this…

The Image of Tadeusz Kościuszko in Postwar Polish Education
To examine changes in educational policy in Poland after World War II, reflected by the image of Tadeusz Kościuszko, we are analyzing school textbooks. We are doing this for two reasons. First, textbooks in Poland, as in many other countries, have long been the predominant “pedagogical tool,” used every day by virtually all teachers and students—hence they have a huge impact not just on the teaching process1 but also on society in general, and in…
