The Closest Stories from World War II' contest, organised by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, in honour of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Open to secondary school students, university students, and teachers, the contest encourages participants to explore World War II history by uncovering family and local stories or through firsthand accounts from witnesses.
