To see and to inquire (Hinschauen und Nachfragen)

To see and to inquire (Hinschauen und Nachfragen) is a modern history textbook with a contemporary didactic concept delving into the latest scientifi c research for schools on Switzerland and World War II. It presents this topic as a „learning landscape“ in five chapters. Besides conveying knowledge, elementary competences are systematically differentiated for the first time.

Further, teachers have a web site (www.hinschauenundnachfragen.ch) to support their work. The textbook is oriented to the interests and abilities of 14-18 year-old students and also appeals to those with a general interest in history. In March 2006 it stimulated broad public debate on the formation and importance of a national historic consciousness.
