In January of 2021, the International Commission’s Secretariat invited public education institutions, Tolerance Education Centers, to participate in the project “About What Was Lost.” The project was dedicated to commemorating the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27.
The project “About What Was Lost “was for school communities. Teachers were suggested to organize lessons, film reviews, and other activities to commemorate the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Once introduced to the historical information, students were invited to create posters dedicated to International Holocaust Remembrance Day. All project-related activities took place remotely.
The works of 84 students from 22 schools in Lithuania participated in the poster contest “About What Was Lost.” Students from Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, and Jewish schools participated in this contest. A commission of 9 people assessed the students’ works. The jury was from various towns and different institutions.
The posters created by the students were divided into four age groups for recognition: grades 5 – 6, grades 7 – 8, grades 9 – 10, and grades 11 – 12. Some of the works were assessed by the jury not nominating for awards, but recognizing them “For originality”, “For historical exposure,” “For a brilliant idea”, etc.
We kindly invite you to enjoy the works created by students – the winners of the contest:
