Místa v srdci / Herzensorte

Description

This bilingual (German-Czech) book is intended as a supplementary teaching text for history and social science classes for children. The book consists of texts based on the memories of Germans and German speaking Czechs who had to leave Czechoslovakia in 1945, following Germany’s defeat in WWII. The book is designed in red and blue colours – red for German, blue for Czech. The book is bound like a notepad with top spiral binding, which gives it informal character.

Statement of the jury

The book’s didactic function is well supported by the use of two colours and its spiral notebook shape.
