„Between Good and Evil: Roles and Grey Areas“

On 21 August, our volunteer Lena travelled to Terezín to help the volunteer office in Terezín with the first implementation of a new workshop called „Between Good and Evil: Roles and Grey Areas“ where they discussed and explored different roles and categories during the Second World War.

She had previously supported her volunteer colleague in designing and setting up the workshop and was now able to be there when it was held with an international group of students for the first time.

The aim of this new workshop is to analyse the roles of different people during the Nazi era and show the participants how blurred the ‘’lines‘’ between these roles are, and that there are not only perpetrators and victims, but also watchers, bystanders and so on. The aim is also to deliberately work with the participants' prejudices in order to address and work through them.

For the future, we hope that the volunteer office in Terezín will work with this workshop regularly.
