« In my “work of remembrance” I put all my effort, as we all should, into young people. To show them the horrors they could be lead to, as many of their forebears were. To show what happens when there is inaction in the face of injustice, exclusion and barbarity. In this ‘“work of remembrance” we must also remind young people that the executioners were ordinary people, just like any of us. So, we must be vigilant as to how we respond to others, so we do not in turn become their executioners. »

Remembrance and transmission

This page represents the central core of this website as it aims to deal with, or remind us, of several key ideas when it comes to remembrance and transmission. To establish links to historical research and to reinforce the role of testimony and all inquiry focused on educational approaches in History classes. But not only in History classes, also in other disciplines such as Humanities, Philosophy and the Arts. This is in accordance with what Sam Braun actively tried to do, that is to speak out, in order to build a more just and benevolent society.
