Last school year, the LAB driven education school from Puurs-Sint-Amands worked on a local history project with fifth-grade students in cooperation with the research centre of Kazerne Dossin.
For eight weeks, the students researched the personal stories of children (in hiding), Jewish and Roma victims. In doing so, they focused on the different mechanisms that can lead to genocide and on the concept of ‘bystander’, ‘upstander’ and ‘ordinary heroes’.
The result can be seen in the guest exhibition ‘Bringing voices alive and becoming one’.
