The 75th anniversary of the end of World War II is an opportunity not only to celebrate the victory over Nazi Germany and the beginning of peaceful coexistence of European nations, but also to raise the question of what exactly happened in 1945 and why that year was not for throughout Europe meant the end of the fighting and the beginning of the reconstruction of the country.
That is why the Krzyżowa Foundation, in cooperation with the Silesian Institute, has prepared an educational project addressed to school youth and teachers, whose aim is to present the broadest possible perspective of the events of 1945, showing similarities and differences in the history of Poland and neighboring countries - as well as between Western European (and American) and Central European memory about the end of World War II.
We will provide more information on the program and the recruitment method for high school youth workshops and teacher training.
Project "(Non) peace 1945. What brought the end of World War II?" it is implemented as part of the „Patriotyzm Jutra” program, organized by the Polish History Museum, and co-financed by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
