Educational program

The first edition of the Festival of Tolerance in Zadar presents the Educational Mornings program, which aims to bring young people closer to the tragedies of the Holocaust in a way that they can understand. This is achieved through the medium of film to which they can relate and with the testimony of people who were discriminated against at their age and imprisoned only because of their ethnic origin. The value of Educational Mornings is increasing since every year there are fewer and fewer living Holocaust survivors among us, and even fewer of those willing to share their experiences with young people. After the film screening of One Life, students will have a first-hand opportunity to hear the Holocaust survivor testimony given by Vesna Domana Hardy. She is an art historian, translator and journalist, and has lived in Pakistan, France and Italy since the 1970s as the wife of Malcolm Hardy from Britain, an employee of the British Council. Since the 1990s, she has been living in London, where she writes as a freelance journalist for various Jewish magazines. The program is held with the support of the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Republic of Croatia.
