AB In 2019 the whole world commemorated 80 years since the beginning of one of the most tragic events of modern history, World War II. The project of the students and the teachers of the Technical University of Liberec (T.U.L) within the framework of the Student Grant Competition 2019, was born of these important events. The project perceived and conceived them from a pedagogical-didactic point of view. Expressive melodramatic approaches of conveying oral history became the starting point. The evacuation of children during World War II in England and Bohemia was an international project based on cooperation with the University of Suffolk from England. Prof. H. Osborne introduced to the students the historical background of England's evacuated children during World War II and facilitated meetings with living witnesses who were evacuated as children. An important parallel to these stories were the stories of the Czech children known as the Winton children who were rescued on trains, and found salvation within English families.
