Over the past two months, a group of young participants, supported by trainers from STOP-KLATKA, met with elderly people who survived the Second World War and with their families.

The young people were driven by many questions:

How do we keep hope for a better future? When did you truly feel free? How did the events of the war shape the rest of your life? What stories were passed down to you by your loved ones?

These and many other questions guided the conversations between the youth and the witnesses of the war. In listening to these personal accounts, the young people searched for the “living questions” relevant to their own world today. They reflected on which situations from the past can still be found in contemporary life.

Where do we encounter oppression in our everyday reality? And what responsibility do we carry when we witness such situations?
