The 20th Century

...on the 20th Century...

The success of this research project depends a lot on you. As a witness of our times you could make an important contribution - even anonymously.

Any record counts! Please send us your thoughts and memories on the past century. The more your impressions are dating back, and the deeper your experiences are, the more valuable they would be for the following generation.

Maybe some memories become vivid once you walk through the 20th century again. Therefore just use the information offered on this site. Give yourself time - there is no "closing date".

...a handful of questions to inspire you:

How have the big events of the century touched you?
Which developments may be the most meaningful?
Where do you see the ups and downs of the century?
How would you judge the past era in its intirety?
What images come up when you think about the past century?
What is your overall opinion about the history of the 20th Century?

Maybe there are some details or anecdotes which especially represent a moment of history.

You may share your thoughts with us at any time, by email, fax or letter. Photos and documents from the 20th century are welcome, too. If you wish so, we do not publish your name or personal data. Anonymous record which are meant for research only are also very welcome.
