Lessons for Life: An Example
Lessons for Life: An Example

Summary/Abstract: In Rotterdam, some primary schools carry out a project around the Jewish Children's Monument. Students investigate the historical background of the names on the monument from children who lived in their neighbourhood. They investigate the consequences of racism, anti-semitism and discrimination in the past and in their own lives. Rotterdam is a multicultural city, many children sometimes experience all kinds of racism and discrimination. In this lecture, the project is explained and the results of the project become visible. Children learn about the Holocaust and they learn in the spirit of Korczak to respect each other and their backgrounds, to live together in a democratic way. The project was co-developed by the Janusz Korczak Foundation and Foundation Loods24/Joods Kindermonument Rotterdam.
