This study presents Silencieux, an immersive and interactive digital booklet that leverages historiographic metafiction and modern technologies to teach underrepresented historical narratives, with a focus on the Asia Minor Catastrophe. Utilizing deepfake videos, multilingual texts, and fractured storytelling, the booklet challenges conventional narratives and fosters an emotional connection with history. Guided by Linda Hutcheon’s theory on historiographic metafiction and Jessica Pressman’s concept of “bookishness”, this research demonstrates the potential of multimodal narratives in preserving cultural heritage. Preliminary feedback from participants highlights the booklet’s innovative design and engagement, while suggestions for methodological improvements and ethical considerations shape future iterations. This approach underscores the transformative role of interdisciplinary methods in history education.
