History alevel coursework

Guys I’m starting my coursework and my teacher hasn’t provided any wider reading for me over the summer and I have no idea how to start research. I already have my knowledge from class about the Holocaust but where can I find historian arguments and interpretations to include without having to buy the books and anything that’ll help me research and gather notes would be amazing

Ok so a lot of university library data bases will have a search function where you can see what texts they have available and you may be able to visits the library for free to use the books they have or libraries have something called open access so you can access the texts online these may not be entire books though just readers h papers or chapters

Hi there,

my school has provided us with lots of resources for the question 'was the final solution an anomaly?', and the time period is 1860s-1945. I'd recommend historians such as Goldhagen (he argues that antisemitism is inherent to all Germans, so it's not an anomaly), Lucy Dawidowicz, and Lindemann (Esau's Tears is a chunky book, but I can tell you the specific pages our teacher told us to read), he emphasises the importance of WW1 and WW2 in desensitising German soldiers to violence and the Eastern European territories having more Jews for Germans to exterminate.
