Abstract: This article presents the changes in history education that bring school history closer to public history and discusses the potential of a textbook as a tool for fostering public history. The analysis of the chapters dealing with the Second World War from the Polish–German history textbook, Europe – Our History, provides arguments in support of the claim that history education may become history for the public – by engaging pupils, not just providing them with knowledge; with the public – by letting the pupils reflect on the lesson content, not take it for granted; about the public – by focusing on ordinary people’s fates, not on political and military operations; and by the public – by referring extensively to people’s memories and letting primary sources speak for themselves, not just illustrate the historiographical narrative.
