Abstract	Bjorn Wansink and his co-authors have aligned their teaching of a recent and controversial historical issue--the Cold War--in the light of a contemporary incident. This article demonstrates a means of ensuring that students understand that different cultures' views of their shared past are nuanced, rather than monolithic--a different concept in philosophy as well as in political culture. It highlights ways of ensuring that different schools' enquiries coalesce, and of using oral, family-borne histories to support what goes on in the classroom. It touches on the technological means of such co-operation. Ultimately, though, Wansink and his colleagues have used their history lessons to investigate and confront their students' stereotypes about other people of their own age. (As Provided).
