The pedagogical goals of this project are to engage students deeper in their attempt to understand a dark episode of history
- By facilitating their navigation through the time period: one space where they will have access to many different texts related to the same story, from many different angles.
- By confronting them with events that took place in a landscape that still exists today; in other words, by connecting the past to the present.
- By interweaving texts, videos and biographical data in order to link the personal to the national (and vice-versa).
- By filling in the holes left in the national memory.
- By translating words but also silence and void into visible spaces when the goal of the Final Solution was to leave no trace.
