Abstract
The paper describes an extracurricular class held in Jasenovac Memorial
Site with pupils of Elementary School Vladimir Nazor from Čepin.
While visiting Jasenovac Memorial Site students participated in a workshop organized
by the curators of the museum. The aim of the workshop was to teach the pupils
about the horrendous crimes that occurred there and why they must never repeat. Students
learned that lesson on the spot. Activities outside the classroom encourage students
to be more active, to explore, discover new things and cooperate, which is
where the largest value of fieldwork lies.
Students are taught about a new way of life and the relationship towards the past: the
duty to remember is equally important as the duty to live in a different, non-violent
and more humane age and to respect social differences and individual freedoms of
members of each nationality.
