Below are the pictures of the classroom Holocaust museum in Croatia.
The ceilings look to be about 12 feet hig (4 meters)
The students with Miljenko, chains are being prepared in the upper back of the photo.
Symbolic Diversity
Croatia’s role in the Holocaust is explored.
Literature sources for the museum
The museum is all around the chains which represent the souls of those lost in the Holocaust.
Looking up to the ceiling
Croatian students watching as people learn from their museum.
One of the display areas.
The students also learned about human rights today, linked to their studies on the Holocaust.
Just like in my museum, students are drawn to the paper clips, almost to sooth their "pain." This is a very tactile experience for them.
Oto Kronstein, a survivor of Auschwitz and Berken Belsen, two of the most horrible extermination camps, came to speak to the students.
The school in Senkovec, Croatia
The student tour guides wear an orange t-shirt with their school name and the museum stamped on it. They are easy to identify for the visitors.
Authentic phone from the era
Artwork in glass by the students (Kristalnacht)…
They live in a Croatian town called
Šenkovec.I know they would be tickled to hear from you. Please take a moment to send them a message if you can. The Croatian teacher’s name is Miljenko. You can contact him at info@inter-nos.biz.
