The director of the Memorial Zone, Ms Tanja Tuleković, said that the goal of the workshop is to, using adequate pedagogical approach, introduce the historiography of the establishing the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and the concentration camp Jasenovac itself to the secondary school students.

This was the fifth workshop in a row, which was organised for secondary school students at the Memorial Zone Donja Gradina. 45 students from secondary schools from Prijedor and Kozarska Dubica, together with their history teachers, Ms Nevena Brdar-Dobrijević and Mr Milorad Mikić, took part in this workshop.

The main goal of the workshop is to, using some personal stories of some of the victims of the Jasenovac concentration camp, make the students think about what was the character of the NDH and the concentration camp Jasenovac, why the victims became victims at all of this the most monstruous camp in Europe and what are the consequences to the whole humanity of such an ideology which was dominant in the NDH.
