Every year, more than 10,000 young Europeans conduct historical research within the EUSTORY Network. These »Traces of History« portray the manifold topics of the students’ works and the faces behind them. We will present some of them on a regular basis. Today, we would like to introduce you to Cecilie's work. She looked at the effects of the industrial revolution in the textile production in her Danish hometown in the middle of the 20th century.

Danish Award Ceremony

»Fight for everything you hold dear…« This title is a quotation from a famous Danish song – a symbol of the Danish resistance against the Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1945 – and it served as the headline for the Danish EUSTORY Competition 2014/2015. This year’s award ceremony took place during a historical festival in Copenhagen with more than 10,000 visitors over the weekend. The prize winners were rewarded on the 14th of March 2015 at a public ceremony under the leadership of the Head of Parliament Mogens Lykketoft, who is President of the United Nations General Assembly and since 2014 the new patron of the Danish History Competition.
