The intergenerational educational project The Stories of Our Neighbours, shield by Post Bellum, is being held at the High School named “Memory of the Nation” for the first time this year. However, over its many years, hundreds of primary and secondary schools across the Czech Republic have been involved in the project.
During the project students form five-member teams and, in cooperation with their teacher, find a witness with whom to record his lifelong story. They then process it further and present everything to the general public at the closing ceremony.
Witnesses chosen by students include political prisoners Miluška Havlůjová and Frederike Hoffmann, underground member, founder of the “Garage” group and collaborator of the London exile publishing house Karel Habal or Witness of the Six Day War in Israel Jana Trnkková and Zdeňka Lažanová, whose family was confiscated all property after 1948 and last but not least, Jarmila Černá, an active senior who is a lifelong member of the Czech Red Cross.
