Studying tragic pages of history, in particular World War II and the Holocaust, requires teachers to demonstrate not only academic accuracy but also a sensitive approach capable of instilling in students an understanding of the value of human life and the importance of memory. The materials on this website are one of the modern tools that allow local history to be combined with a global context.

• studying the history of World War II and the Holocaust through microhistory;
• developing historical research skills;
• forming a value-based attitude towards memory;
• interdisciplinary integration (history, language, civic education, art, IT).

• The principle of personalizing history: focusing not on abstract numbers, but on specific names and fates.
• Localization of historical experience: connecting students with the city and street where people whose fates were linked to Babyn Yar lived.
• Interdisciplinarity: integration with humanities and technology disciplines.
• Project-based and research-based approach: active involvement of students in creating their own educational product.
• Digital humanities: use of modern tools for visualization, cartography, and podcasting.

However, the website is only the starting point. The real journey begins when students become researchers themselves, asking questions and searching for answers. We have prepared a selection of practical ideas that you can use in your classes.
