Learn the history of the Great Patriotic War not from a textbook, but from real award lists, military maps, and soldiers' letters.
At this special educational event, history comes to life on the monitor screen. This is not a lecture, but a lively and interactive excursion into the world of archives.
What will happen?
SEARCH: Participants will sit at computers and, step by step, explore the vast "Memory of the People" and "Feat of the People" archives together.
ANALYSIS: A real award list will be read and deciphered. It will become clear how a few lines in a document tell an entire story of heroism. The path of soldier divisions will be traced on old maps.
CREATION: From the found documents, maps, and photographs, a common digital memorial album or postcard will be created together, which everyone will take home.
DISCUSSION: There will be a conversation about what impressed everyone the most, and how we can now cherish and pass on our family's history.
Why should you attend? This is a chance to touch history personally. This is not done alone, but all together – through joint efforts, memory is found, understood, and preserved.
