Feedback from Danilo Kovac, one of the participants, after the EHRI Seminar in Trieste 

At the very beginning, I would like to point out that the seminar was very skillfully packed and the participants were carefully selected. With that in mind, the fact that we had many very fruitful discussions came as no surprise. Commentaires et critique des professeurs qui étaient avec nous était une occasion unique pour tous les participants d’obtenir des conseils utiles sur leurs projets de recherche.

What I really appreciate is our official readings. I found them absorbing and highly productive. The first reading about local history was crucial in understanding all other historical processes that took place in Trieste and the region. A great majority of the participants' presentations were also productive. There were just some of them I found less interesting as a deeper knowledge on the background to the topic was necessary. Nevertheless, the seminar was a great opportunity to deepen my knowledge on the topics with which I had been less familiar.

As one of the participants, I presented my own projects on how to teach the Holocaust. The feedback and fruitful criticism encouraged me to experiment more in this very important field. Even more importantly, in the leisure time I received feedback from the other participants on how they had been thought of the Holocaust. The opportunity was unique as the participants were very knowledgeable in the field and at the same time very open and honest. In that context, I am really appreciative of the experience of our German guests.

It was just thanks to the organizers that this positive and friendly atmosphere prevailed among the participants. I attended many other seminars, but very rarely was it possible to establish even a personal relationship with organizers in such a short time. On this occasion they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and to make the seminar as fruitful as possible. Having that in mind efforts of Ms. Tullia Catalan and Ms. Laura Fontana should be pointed out. It goes without saying that thanks should be given to Mr. Matteo Perissinotto who seemed to be a key figure in all logistical matters.
