Power of Personal Stories in Confronting Oblivion (PPSCO)

The project „Power of Personal Stories in Confronting Oblivion” aims to strengthen the practices of remembrance of the Holocaust, and other genocides committed during WWII, in the partner countries and the European Union. The year 2025 is particularly important for this topic, as it will be the 80-years anniversary of the end of WWII, liberation of different concentration camps and other locations (such as Auschwitz, Dachau Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška), and the anniversary of liberation of many cities in Europe from Fascist and Nazi occupation.

The project focuses on combating Holocaust and other genocides denial, countering distortion, and trivialization of historical facts, by sharing accurate information, organizing public debates on the best practices of confronting distortion and creating new materials and methods based on personal stories and biographies of time-witnesses, victims, and survivors. The project will also analyse and highlight resistance and/or organized opposition.

The project’s activities so far:

• Kick-off meeting – Rijeka, Croatia, 27-30 April 2024;
• Round-table – Rijeka, Croatia, 29 April 2024;
• Visited to the Memorial Center “Lipa Remembers” – Lipa, Croatia, 30 April 2024.
