Invitation
Europe celebrates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain in 2009. The end of an era. In this symbolical time, we prepare an international youth event for 50 students from all over Europe. The four day conference is dedicated to commemoration of victims of Stalinism in former Czechoslovakia and beyond.
We are going to present life stories of those who survived the mass political persecution and are willing to share their memories with YOU. This unique constellation for a meeting with witnesses of Stalinist past will never repeat in the future!
The event will involve the presence of former political prisoners, academics and experts from the field of oral history.
