Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to contribute a practical study model based on long term, deep, mainly historical studies about the Holocaust in Albania. A similar model has already existed for the eight years in Bucharest, Romania. Based on its advantages and the needs in Albania I built a new model. The article describes the relevant historical background and raised the humanistic questions that have interested and challenged many historians over the last 20 years.The article is based on theoretical methods from other fields and integrates them into the original model. The model is divided into two parts that are interdependent. The conclusion and discussion summarize all the factors in order to convince the Albanian Ministry of Education and University of Tirana to adopt its idea.
