Babyn Yar Memorial Center launches online platform for studying World War II history at schools – Education Ministry
KYIV. Sept 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Holocaust Memorial Center Babyn Yar has launched an online platform "Red Point of Memory", which will be a tool for preserving, studying, researching the history of World War II and the Holocaust, according to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
It was created as an assistant to history teachers and offers a new method of teaching a school subject, interactive and interesting for students. The platform and methodological materials for working with its educational projects are approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. "Participation in them is based on a research approach – working with primary sources," the ministry’s press service said.
It is reported that in real time students together with teachers document the local and regional history of World War II and the Holocaust using their own smartphones: record eyewitness memories, digitize museum exhibits and artifacts from home archives, search for information about local Holocaust memorials.
"All recorded evidence and digitized landmarks are added to the platform and become red points on the map, which form a common unified history," the report said. The platform is available at: https://edu.babynyar.org/
