Boris Romanchenko (1926 – 2022) was a Ukrainian activist and survivor who endured the Buchenwald, Dora, and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. He was killed by Russian airstrikes during the Battle of Kharkiv, a tragic event that took place in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

As every year on 23 August, the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Totalitarian Regimes, the ENRS recalls those persecuted in the name of totalitarian and authoritarian ideologies.

'In Between?' is an educational project for students interested in exploring the history of the borderland regions of Europe. The participants are given a unique opportunity to conduct academic research using oral history methodology and learn how to present the results with help of the newest technologies.

During the 2022 edition of the programme the participants met in Warsaw and subsequently set off on study visits to Alsace, Friuli Venezia Giulia or Cieszyn Silesia, where they interviewed members of the local community and produced a series of podcasts.

'In Between?' took place for the first time in 2016. Since then, the project has been repeated every year, each time in a different part of Europe. In 2018 'In Between?' received a special mention by the organisation Europa Nostra.

The conference aims to examine the mechanisms and methods used in the political and social implementation of historical disinformation, the portrayal of the enemy, and discuss ways in which these can be prevented or mitigated. The latter entails a (self-)critical analysis of political and scholarly dealings with history in various European countries. It also reflects on what happens when warnings from political and academic voices are not taken seriously enough, and on the consequences of the way in which attention has shifted from Russia to Ukraine.

The conference was preceded by a conference in Prague "Memory of the Past and Politics of the Present” on 28–29 November 2022 at the Goethe Institute in Prague. Both conferences are a part of the ENRS content framework “History, Memory, and Russia`s war against the Ukraine”.

’Visualisations of 20th-century Forced Migrations. Transnational Memory in Pictures and Art’ was a programme for young artists and professionals under the age of 35 interested in the complex histories of the European regions affected by forced migration. The project was a joint initiative of the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity and Deutsche Gesellschaft e.V.

After the Great War, a number of countries emerged or regained their independence, mainly in East-Central Europe, among others: Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The only countries created in Western Europe were Ireland and the Kingdom of Iceland.

See Prof. Jay Winter from Yale University, a member of the Academic Council of the exhibition, sharing his personal reflections on this unusual outdoor display dedicated to an extremely important, yet often overlooked period in the XX century history of Europe and the world. The footage was shot during the presentation at the French town of Verdun, one of the most important historical sites related to the First World War, in August 2019. The exhibition has been worked out as a result of discussions between historians and experts from many countries. The aim of the project is to allow the visitors to learn about the variety of perspectives, experiences and attitudes in regard to the aftermath of the First World War and the emergence of the new order.
