Go through our publications! At ENRS, we want to create a forum for exchange of opinions between historians, social studies scholars, and representatives of other disciplines engaged in memory studies. One of the ways of achieving this goal is by publishing our own annual journal "Remembrance and Solidarity Studies", as well as supporting external publications focused on remembrance and history of the 20th century in Europe.

Inclusive Approaches to Heritage Management in Borderlands draws on research conducted across ten European borderlands to make the case for moving beyond nationally defined heritage frameworks toward cross-border, community-driven approaches. The report argues that borderland cultural landscapes are often more diverse and dynamic than those further from the border — and that this richness is an opportunity, not a complication.

SUMMARY:

This 45-minute lesson plan explores World War II history through The Green Dress, a personal story of survival and resilience. Students begin by discussing meaningful objects in their own lives before being introduced to the story, which highlights the experiences of civilians during the war. The lesson includes historical context, analysis of the Warsaw Uprising and Dulag 121 transit camp, and the role of objects in preserving memory. Witness testimonies, including that of Teresa Gozdyra, emphasize the importance of firsthand accounts. Students engage in creative activities, such as social media storytelling, to deepen their connection to history. The lesson concludes with discussions on historical memory and personal reflection. An optional assignment encourages students to explore their own family histories, making the past more tangible and relevant.
