Struggling History Major| Historiographical Essay

by LaceyLooks

So, I have to write a short (500 Word) Historiographical essay for my Researching and Writing History class. The topic/question that I am researching is: Why did Hitler hate the Jews, and what did Hitler and the Nazis say/do to persuade the German population to participate in anti-Semitism as well?

Im having a hard time finding articles from different historians on the same topic, so help there would be appreciated. Also, if you have any tips or guides to writing a Historiographical Essay, that would be great as well.

Hey there! We actually have a six-part series specifically about doing historical research, from finding sources to writing your final paper, which you can find in full here. In particular though, you'll be wanting our guidance on finding secondary sources and writing a research paper (/u/sunagainstgold wrote about how to prepare a historiographical essay). Whilst further answers and advice are of course absolutely welcome, hopefully these resources will be useful for you, being broadly aimed at undergraduates.
