To commemorate this date, we have launched the first joint Centropa IBB Minsk Lesson Plan Competition on “Teaching 20th century Jewish history in Belarus”. We invite teachers from Belarus to submit lesson plans on how to teach 20th century Jewish history and the Holocaust using Centropa´s multimedia film about Elena Drapkina, a former prisoner of the Minsk ghetto (to be found on https://pamjat.centropa.org/films/)
