‘Hi-story Lessons: Teaching and Learning about 20th-century European History’ is an on-line multilingual platform dedicated for teachers and educators with free, ready-to-use and innovative resources on 20th-century European history, disinformation, and historical manipulation especially in Central and Eastern Europe.
At Hi-story Lessons, we aim to equip teachers and educators with educational materials – infographics, animations, lesson scenarios, a selection of interesting historical sources, presentations and others. By using them teachers and educators can present history in an engaging way, sparking curiosity and involvement, fostering critical thinking skills among students.
We are dedicated to presenting history from various viewpoints, emphasizing the importance of understanding different perspectives. Our aim is to allow students better understand the complexities of the present and function in it more consciously.
Teaching resources are available in English, Polish, German, Slovak, Romanian and Hungarian.
As part of the Hi-story Lessons initiative, we host a series of webinars led by experts in the field. These sessions provide practical advice and ready-to-use resources, covering topics such as Holocaust education, combatting disinformation, and exploring themes of resistance and solidarity across Europe.

Who we are
‘Hi-story Lessons: Teaching and Learning about 20th-century European History’ is a project held by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS).
At ENRS, we foster dialogue on the history of 20th-century Europe and European cultures of remembrance, with particular emphasis on periods of dictatorships, wars and resistance to political violence, and enhance public awareness.
Or aim is to bring together the history of the Network’s countries – Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania as well as other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Guided by the spirit of friendship, we combine a sound knowledge of history with innovative, thought-provoking teaching.
We do this by organising a wide range of projects, from exhibitions and publications to workshops, study visits and conferences. Our aim is, guided by the spirit of mutual trust, to support the development of a common European culture of remembrance.
