"Centropa is the most positive and optimistic organization dealing with 20th-century Jewish history that I have ever encountered. Centropa's focus on how Jews lived, rejoiced, loved, and matured in the 20th century, rather than on how some or most of them met their end in cruel ways, is such a positive and refreshing approach to history. To see the good, and to celebrate it - That’s what education is all about. Centropa's way is not to be a hidden or over-academic archive of testimonies, but an open and an inviting one. while investing most, if not all, of its energy in connecting educators with Centropa's materials, so that every educator who teaches with Centropa's materials will know at least one story, one person, one community. To connect with history, to connect with yourself - You have to make it personal."
