This paper explores how secondary school history and social studies textbooks in both Taiwan and Mainland China narrate the Holocaust. It employs content analysis to review the textbooks and brings up reflections and suggestions. Suggestions for both textbooks include increasing significant events and signifiers, adding more primary data for better understanding, embedding diverse perspectives, putting more consideration into the use of pictures and images, and discussing post-war impact and relevant measures that the government took. Taiwan’s textbooks should provide more concrete historical contexts and causes of events that focus more on definitions and important concepts. The Holocaust and related issues should be included in the main text, not only in supplementary statements. Inquiry and discussion of the issues should also be added to increase historical consciousness and encourage depth of thought. Ultimately, this paper shows our reflections on curriculum organization, narrative views, discourse types, and instructional activity designs. With the Holocaust and relevant issues, we attempt to rethink the problems of textbook design, to seek deeper meaning of history learning, and to criticize the origins of genocide and the importance of investigating peace and human rights, so as to promote the cultivation of international citizenship. |
