The case study "Childhood memories - narratives in the memory dialogue between primary school pupils and elderly people from the GDR" would like to thank the students of the Humboldt-University teacher training programme who initiated and accompanied various encounters between primary school children and senior citizens from the GDR in the winter semester, 2020/21 and the summer semester, 2021 and thus contributed significantly to the success of the project; the participating children and contemporary witnesses, without whom this project would not have been possible, as well as Mirjam Karnetzki, Dagmar Mirre and Karl-Heinz Steinle for connecting us with "jung fragt alt" (Kinderring e. V.) and our many exciting conversations about encounters between the generations, memories and contemporary witnesses.
