Instruction on writing Chapter
in the Book "Memories":
The Fate of Jewish Families
during the Second World War – from mouth to mouth.
Goals of Project:
1. Creating an e-book "The Fate of the Family" part 1, in which will be included chapters on the fate of families during the Second
World War (WWII).
2. To reflect and show that along with the Holocaust, the Jews
of Europe and Jews of the anti-Hitler coalition showed heroism on the fronts of
WWII, in the guerrilla movement, in underground and demonstrated selfless work
in the rear. This must be one of the information sources which will be in
contrast to the myths that are trying to spread some anti-Semitic historians,
politicians, organizations and countries.
3. To save available information and transmitted it from
generation to generation, from mouth to mouth information about the fate of
families during WWII in particular prescribed format that will allow this
information to be stored in a single database.
4. To write and transfer private memories and documents for
future generations. Since in families of post war generation many children are
born and not everyone can have family original photos, written memories and
documents. A presence in the electronic form of essays about the fate of family
memories will preserve the memory of them. One of the important primary
directions is – the writing memories about the fate of families during the
Second World War for future generations.
5. To maintain centralized collection, accumulation, processing and storage chapters on the fate of Jewish families during the Second World War (WWII) and store written electronic chapters in parts and sections, chapters, stories ... on web site in the database.
Part of the information can be in the
context of a country, Section can be in the context of a town/village, Chapter
can be in the context of a family and story can be in context of the fate of
the person/individual.
6. In memoirs about the fate of families episodes in the war can
be reflected, events in the rear, which are directly linked and touched on a
particular family.
7. In the future, the proposed approach of writing chapters
about the fate of families can be applied to other nations involved in WWII and
write chapters about fates of the families in the modern period.
8. To teach the younger generation to participate in the writing and write their memoirs about the fate of their families in which they grew up and that they have grown.
9. Format

provide familiarization with the fate of family and getting a general idea of
the family and significant episodes in the life of each family
member. In extended version author / authors can write all the memories that
