We are inviting you to join our virtual, international history festival from 21-22 October 2021. You can expect inputs from our community, expert talks, live music acts – and of course lots of interaction.

What role did Hungary play in the Second World War? How did the culture of Holocaust remembrance develop over time? These are the topics we are discussing with Andrea Petö, Professor at the Central European University.

Film maker Pavel Franzusov asked young people from all over their world about their relationship with the Second World War. Here you can learn about Karolina´s perspective from Poland.

Due to the pandemic we were unable to meet people from all over the world in person yet. We encountered many different views of history and memory nonetheless. Discover which places we have visited already!
