The course included workshops conducted at the House of Wannsee Conference by Dr Wolf Kaiser “What Do History of the National-Socialism and Holocaust teach us today?” and by Christoph Kreutzmüller “Photography as historical Source”. Among important educational activities connected with the Holocaust education were visiting the tolerance space and artistic exhibition „7xjung – Your Training Ground for Solidarity and Respect” as well interactive meeting “Inheritance of Memory - National Socialism among different generations” conducted by Marina Chernivsky.
