Every questioning of a witness by a prosecutor is of a legal and formal nature. Its aim is to determine “what really happened”. A historian, if interested not only in reconstruction of the course of events, strives to get to know the world of the witness he or she is interviewing. These aims determine the methods, but do not exclude learning from each other’s experience, as well as results of investigations, inquiries and research. The same person can be the subject of interest for a narrative; a prosecutor and a historian can complement each other in their findings. This article represents a contribution to the discussion on the differences in methodology in the work of historians and prosecutors, as well as the importance of interviews with witnesses for the research on contemporary history.
