CSA 2016, Day Three. Another
fabulous day -- a visit to the Belvedere Museum in Vienna! As breathtaking as
it is, however it did not make my best part of this seminar day. Completely
unexpectedly, the highlight of the day turned out to be a story I was told by
Robert Rosner, a 92 year old Holocaust survivor from Vienna. It's a story of
how his wife survived the Holocaust in Austria. 

Dear  Centropa members

It is so very surprising to see so many teachers willing to spend there summer time vacation to deal with not very easy issues . The main idea expressd by many of us was the will to teach our students to see the other, to open there eyes to other ways of living, and to deal with the complexity of human history, especally the sad hstory of the twentieth century.

For me learning and teaching  about  the holocaust is an obligation one can not escape from, despite the pain.

Today we've had a very emotional and inspiring meeting with Irene Bartz. Holocaust survivor from Vienna.She speaks Polish (her mother was from Krakow ) as if she had never left Poland. I do hope Irene  will come to Wroclaw.

What a day!

What impressed me the most is when Philipp Blom talked about moral crisis. He talked about moral crisis in the past but I couldn't help myself not to think about nowadays. Are we dealing and witness moral crisis right now? What did we learn from the past? Anything or nothing? Kind a deep conversation I had in my mind... 

#CSA2016 - what should I tell my kids? Why we haven't learned a lot from our past?

Saw an informative video documentary by Morley Safer explaining how the Jews and the Austro-Hungarian Empire flourished under Franz Josef.
