Ghetto’s (Un)Childish Stories

It is an educational activity on the crimes committed by the Nazi occupation regime in Lithuania, with a particular focus on the Jewish ghetto phenomenon during World War II. Participants are introduced to the lives of the children who had to live in the ghetto: through activities, they find out what the ghetto’s everyday life, marked by constant scarcity, was like, what prohibitions were in force at the time, what tensions prevailed in the social environment and how poor but bright leisure time was… On the basis of authentic diary excerpts, participants also analyse the various psychological experiences of young people in the ghetto, i.e. the feelings and emotions that were in some way determined by the external forces of life in the ghetto. The activity encourages to learn about the painful experiences of Lithuanian and world history, invites intense moments of empathy and develops logical and analytical thinking, the ability to creatively generate ideas, clear presentation of ideas and cooperation in groups.
