Interview with David Hauschild – History Teacher
in Secondary Education“There are different levels of
efficiency”
“I don’t know how German
students could be taught World
War II, therefore I do not know if
they are aware of
swing kids”
“I question the
importance and
significance of Swing
Kids”
“Understanding
historical perspective is key, and
we only have our
own perspective
”
“But, Jurassic
Park made 357 million
and this movie did not make
the top 100. The movie
was not even
mainstream.”
