Teacher's Voice
“I want students to realize that you cannot truly understand the peoples’ spirit without taking into account the entire social, historical and economic context. Otherwise, you can only take a little glimpse, just a piece of puzzle of this whole image of the human drama, the human in the given time”.
Teacher from Romania
“Modern history is brutal. I would like to show students that in a civilized world, such brutality can happen. We may end up with a political system such as communism, in which people are completely excluded from thinking and normal functioning. A place, where there is no possibility of development towards freedom”.
