"In Between?" is an educational project initiated in April 2016 by European Network Remembrance and Solidarity. The participants are given an opportunity to conduct research in the European borderland regions using oral history methodology. In 2019 the workshop was devoted to the 80th anniversary of the World War II outbreak on 1 September 1939 in Kashubia (Pomerania), close to the city of Gdańsk. The participants took part in artistic workshops and lectures, as well as they met inhabitants of the region and witnesses to history, in search for contemporary traces of memory of the traumatic events that took place in the Piaśnica forests in 1939–1940.

duration: 00:00:38
Prepared by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity in cooperation with historians from over a dozen countries, the exhibition is an attempt to synthesise the turbulent beginning of the interwar period with the focus mainly on East-Central Europe. Over 200 archive and multimedia materials – pictures, maps and films – together with individual stories of those who lived back then present a complex yet coherent picture of New Europe established in the east-central part of the continent. The main goal of the project is to illustrate the scale of the political changes and show their impact on current politics as well as to present different national memories.
