It is always interesting learning about past events that happened and sharing them with others. But when you get in-depth with history you have to think of historiography which is a deeper analysis of how historians make meaning of the past. Just like Christi Terry posts in her blog”Historiography:More Than a Love of History,” People can love history and absorb it as a “sponge” and intake all the events and details without thinking critically or even acknowledging how the source was found. Historiography is thinking outside the box and questioning how we got to know the facts and what purpose do they serve. The author talks about how the extermination of the Jews was never a “Hitler order” and the conclusion of it came from his actions. Meaning there was debate on how everything got understood and transmitted to the world. Hitler and his men tried burning all the evidence of everything they did, but it was not hard to figure out what he did and why he did it. It is not true that history that is known cannot be repeated, but it brings new insights in certain outcomes and how events turned out in the past. It can help historians research in-depth and preserve the knowledge from the past for future generations to study. It is easy to in take everything you learn in your history classes but to debate and question if everything is true is not something everyone does, but it is important to analyze how historians reconstruct and interpret the past. Just like we mentioned in class that disasters help us understand society better. As people we analyze events that happen and how the people act about it. For example, during the Gilded Age there were a lot of horrible things happening but after seeing how events played out like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire there were regulations for the workers. Events like these changes how workers are treated and we have come a long way with unions, and over time after eight hours. People do not want the same things to happen therefore the history is preserved and kept to address and study.
