Here we present resources “for download”. They can serve various educational purposes, not only in history but in other areas of education too. They can be useful at school and after school activities both for teachers and pupils. They include: articles, instructions, official documents (e.g. relating to ministerial directives), manuals, as well as other resources showing how different problems in historical education are tackled by teachers in other countries.
We would be happy to present here also texts send by users of our website who wish to share their experiences and give advice to the others.
The aim of the lesson plan "To be a Jewish teenager in Poland" is to give students an idea about the diversity of Jewish society in interwar Poland. Jewish life was politically, religiously and culturally much more diverse than it is usually presented. "What was it like to be a teenager growing up in that world?" is the question the students are invited to deal with.
The plan offers a detailed outline of a possible lesson including suggestions for discussion topics and extension activities. It contains also a list of recommended articles and maps from the encyclopedia.
The plan offers the opportunity to outline on the one hand how diverse life of a supposed uniform group can be and on the other hand how close this can be to our own life. Students may reflect about the situation of people in a country and time far away from their own lives, but may realize that it did not differ a lot from their own reality. Generally, the usage of this material in class may be a starting point to further take advantage of the rich material offered by the encyclopedia.
The Yivo Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe provides students and pedagogues with comprehensive material about the history and culture of Jews in Eastern Europe. Besides alphabetically arranged articles one has access to almost 1500 pictures, audio and video documents, 60 different maps and almost 200 scanned original documents (esp. letters, postcards and poems). For pedagogues Yivo arranged the available material according to different topics and developed possible lesson plans to be implemented in class.
The material is derived from the partner Website "Lernen aus der Geschichte".
The goal of the article is to use a few incidents surrounding Lenin memorials across Russia to illustrate the work of monitoring the politics of history and to offer in connection with this a few potentially meaningful generalizations.
The materials comes from the partner Website „Uroki istorii”.
The book contains essays about the commemoration of and education about the Holocaust. The writer are philosopher, anthropologist, literary historian, psychologist, journalist, ethnographer, theologian, cultural historian, political scientist, high school teacher, sociologists and historians. This collection of essays, supplemented by a section describing institutions that have educational tools at their disposal, was compiled for readers for whom the teaching/learning process is an open one, not necessarily limited to fixed teacher-student roles.

It is the 3rd part of teaching materials to combat anti-Semitism. The materials consist of three parts, each covering a particular aspect of anti-Semitism: Part 1 is on the history of anti-Semitism; Part 2 covers contemporary forms of anti-Semitism; Part 3 looks at anti-Semitism as one of many forms of discrimination. The materials also include a comprehensive guide for teachers. The materials were designed to allow flexibility to schools and teachers in terms of where to place such subject matter in their curriculum: they could fit easily into such subjects as History, Religious Studies, Literature, Social Studies, or be used on an interdisciplinary basis. They are published here.
