Abstract
This chapter will scrutinize how and why the shared national narrative of Dutch tolerance was constructed, adapted, and perpetuated in twentieth-century Dutch history textbooks, a widespread genre that has provided many people with collective memory and identity, while communicating “cultural truths.”
In addition to the idea that religion led to varying – sometimes contrasting – historical interpretations and narrations in Dutch textbooks, this chapter adds a new perspective by showing how religion led to unification in the interpretation of national history under the heading of Dutch tolerance.
