Seventy years after the end of the Second World War we are faced with the declining number of eye witnesses of the events. Those who are still among us were children when they had to experience the atrocities of a world on the battlefields. How do they remember their lives during World War II, how did they cope with gruesome impressions the war had left on their minds? And how do these memories vary between different nations?  Twenty participants from 14 different European countries took part in a 4 months online seminar that concluded in a History Camp in July. Their results are now available on the History Campus website. To read a report about the seminar in Berlin, please click here.
