Students were able to personally work with exact copies of archival documents of the 19th &#8211; early 20th centuries, feel the spirit of the era, decipher ancient handwriting and find the living destinies of people behind dry lines. This experience unleashed real delight in future researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The class turned into a lively discussion: the children actively asked questions, discussed and shared their impressions.
