AIMS:

We are working on a set of European/International Lesson Plans about the consequences of the totalitarianism in the XX Century, in the WWII and in the Spanish Civil War, with emphasis on the Human Rights like the concentration camps during the Holocaust (Shoah) and the current consequences of the Spanish Civil War (Law of Historical Memory), and the resistance movement of people who thought other world and reality was possible. It means our main purpose is to make our students aware of the importance of critical thinking and political and social activism in the construction of the EU through the European History and the development of Human Rights against intolerance and totalitarianism in order to create pedagogical tools to offer a new perspective on the extermination: from Collaboration, Indifference and Resistance in response to the new rise of radical-right parties in Europe.

A meeting with witnesses of history at Gimnazjum nr 9 im. Jana Pawła II in Sosnowiec



On the 30th January 2015 we had the pleasure to host two witnesses of history, citizens of Sosnowiec, Mrs. Halina Skalbmierska and her cousin Mr. Adolf Kasprzyk, who at the time of II World War were teenagers. They told us a tragic story of their family who suffered as a result of their parents’ active resistance against Nazi occupants. They described their stay at labour camps and different types of resistance movements in Sosnowiec during II World War.  
The story of the family will serve as resources for the lesson plan in the first didactic unit. We are very grateful that Mrs. Skalbmierska and Mr. Kasprzyk agreed to spend time with our students and teach them a very special history lesson.
