Promotion of the book: Wer ist Walter?
The project Wer ist Walter? Resistance to Nazism in Europe has brought together an international team of historians and curators who spent two years exchanging knowledge about different types of resistance to fascism during the World War II and ideas on how to tackle this topic today in an academic, museological and educational context. The collaboration resulted in an academic publication, a digital platform and a permanent exhibition in the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The publication “Wer ist Walter? International Perspectives on Resistance in Europe during World War II” gathers 32 contributions and case studies on the history of resistance against Nazism, fascism, occupation and collaboration during World War II, as well as on its transmission after 1945, especially in museums. The authors are historians, curators and other scholars from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Germany, Serbia and other countries. The book can be downloaded in pdf format at www.weristwalter.eu.
