English to German translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - History | | English term or phrase: historical narrative | I am in the process of translating a chapter about Holocaust education. In this chapter, the term "historical narrative" is used quite often. I am however not entirely sure what term would be most appropriate in German... "historische Erzählung", "historischer Abriss", "historische Beschreibung"?
Below two examples from the text:
As the Holocaust was an integrated part of the Second World War, which still has a privileged position in the history curriculum of many European countries, should it be taken away from the general historical narrative of these years?
This is the case, for example, with the programmes that have been set up in Bosnia-Herzegovina where the objective has been to address the ethnic-national historical narratives, which are seen as obstacles to a peaceful coexistence in the region
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks

| | Geschichtsschreibung | Explanation:
"historisch" wird zwar auch verwendet, aber es bedeutet eigentlich etwas anderes im Deutschen, nämlich dass etwas historischen Wert hat. Hier geht es um die Frage, ob das Thema Holocaust aus der allgemeinen Geschichtsschreibung herausgelöst werden sollte.
