• Classroom Holocaust Museum (Croatia)
  Miljenko Hajdarovic, member of the Croatian HTA editor of the Croatian History Portal and teacher at the Elementary School „Petar Zrinski" Senkovec in Croatia has been working on the "Holocaust Museum Project" , a project aiming to teach students about Holocaust via engaging them in creating a Holocaust Museum in their classroom. This way students work closely with their teachers and learn about genocide, anti-Semitism and Nazism and they use case studies of people, especially of children of their age relating them to their personal stories. Children become the tour guides for their own museum and can present the public their collection of material related to Holocaust.
