Dear  Centropa members

It is so very surprising to see so many teachers willing to spend there summer time vacation to deal with not very easy issues . The main idea expressd by many of us was the will to teach our students to see the other, to open there eyes to other ways of living, and to deal with the complexity of human history, especally the sad hstory of the twentieth century.

For me learning and teaching  about  the holocaust is an obligation one can not escape from, despite the pain.

Today we've had a very emotional and inspiring meeting with Irene Bartz. Holocaust survivor from Vienna.She speaks Polish (her mother was from Krakow ) as if she had never left Poland. I do hope Irene  will come to Wroclaw.

What a day!

What impressed me the most is when Philipp Blom talked about moral crisis. He talked about moral crisis in the past but I couldn't help myself not to think about nowadays. Are we dealing and witness moral crisis right now? What did we learn from the past? Anything or nothing? Kind a deep conversation I had in my mind... 

#CSA2016 - what should I tell my kids? Why we haven't learned a lot from our past?

Saw an informative video documentary by Morley Safer explaining how the Jews and the Austro-Hungarian Empire flourished under Franz Josef.

Oh my! So many great people, dear friends, new teachers - I'm just so happy and excited! :)

For me, first day was marked one question Lauren has asked.
