Abstract

The article presents an introduction to the model for student instruction known as "Historiography-Based Inquiry (HBI)". The goal of HBI is to allow students to work through the similar processes that historians do when constructing historical knowledge. The article also presents a sample HBI structure framed around an investigation into the role that victim accounts and survivor testimonies have on developing the history of the Holocaust. The sample framing essay provides resources for teachers and students to help them engage with Holocaust history.
