Why?Why?
• first two museums had no direct connection with holocaust
• Croatia and our County of Medjimurje were directly involved– sensitive issue
(perpetrators, victims and bystanders are still alive)
Miljenko Hajdarović, prof. OŠ Petar Zrinski Šenkovec
Great opportunityGreat opportunity• For students:
– learn how to make a project
– learn how to work in group and a member of a team
– learn to conduct interview with survivor
– learn how to get useful information from literature
– teaching others– importance of human
rights....
• For teacher:– learn how to make a
project– how to lead a group of
enthusiastic students– how to deal with holocaust
deniers– how to build a museum
exhibit– communication with media– networking...
Miljenko Hajdarović, prof. OŠ Petar Zrinski Šenkovec
Looking backwards and forwardsLooking backwards and forwards• We did:
– workshops on human rights– watch some movies about
holocaust– speak to survivor– learn from books– made an exhibition– teach others...
• We will:– show our exihibition on various
places (like Jasenovac)– film a documentary about our
project...– continue to teach others...
