European Cultural Memory about the
Victims of Totalitarian Regimes
Digitalizing cultural memory to make past visible and available
for the future
● Combination of the historical, theoretical and digital storytelling parts with the cultural-social
aspects of historical trauma provide space for multicultural acceptance in today’s Europe
● Comprehensive digital materials (numerous documents, photos, testimonies and works of art from
the time) from Europeana and partners’ network in combination with interactive questions open
new horizons for effective learning scenarios at the Future Classroom Labs (FCLs)
● Wealth of voices and viewpoints presented by the victims of the totalitarian regimes combined
with the novel learning experience: crowdsourcing – involving the learners themselves in the act of
collecting and shaping information, via unique, exciting online assignments

European Cultural Memory about the
Victims of Totalitarian Regimes
Why to engage Europeans in exploring diverse cultural memory
resources about the tragic events of the 20th century?
● To let Europeans and their families connect to the history and bring it into present
● To compensate for the absence of the voices of the unknown victims and revive the
memory of the decreasing numbers of Stalinism and Holocaust survivors
● To promote knowledge about the differences in the European remembrance discourses
in individual states and common European remembrance policy
● To promote media literacy, acknowledge and raise awareness among people about the
connection between the propagandistic discourses based on historical interpretations in
order to prevent anti-Semitism, corruption and radicalism

● Interactive 3D models enable users to virtually manipulate with cultural artefacts, open
them, disassemble, see hidden parts inside, etc.
● It is not a predefined animation. Interactive models are much more informative than
single-angle photographs
● 3D models can be created by optical scanning, photogrammetry and modelling software.
Interaction can be added by programming in Blender or game engines
