Holocaust historiography
Holocaust historiography is the study of how historians have researched and interpreted the Holocaust, the systematic genocide of six million Jews by the Nazis during World War II. It involves analyzing sources like survivor accounts, documents, and photographs to understand what happened, why it occurred, and its impact. Over time, perspectives have evolved, considering political, cultural, and ethical questions, while also addressing debates about memory, responsibility, and denial. This field helps us understand the past accurately and learn lessons to prevent future atrocities.
