What is Centropa? Centropa, a Jewish historical institute based in Vienna, interviewed 1,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We didn’t use video or focus on the Holocaust, but asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs. Centropa offers teachers a database of thousands of annotated photos, hundreds of interviews, and scores of award-winning, short multimedia films (none longer than 30 minutes)—ideal for creating virtual and in-class projects that teach digital literacy, promote critical thinking, increase global awareness, all found at http://www.centropa.org, all free of charge. Each summer we bring the most innovative teachers to the great cities of Central Europe to travel with 70 teachers from 17 countries—in 2023 we will be in Vienna & Prague. Teachers use Centropa resources to teach history, Holocaust education, social studies, ELA, art, world languages, filmmaking, photography, technology, and civics.
