Schrift und Linien. Ein Beitrag zur historischen Kinder- und Jugendzeichnungsforschung

The Danke-Buch is a unique contemporary witness document that not only provides insights into the difficult war and post-war years from the perspective of young schoolgirls, but also reveals their gratitude for the help they received in every line. Taking into account the cultural, social and educational context, Juliane Kurz shows how humanitarian aid in life-threatening situations is expressed in children's and young people's drawings across national borders, and the lasting significance this has for those involved. In addition, the author highlights the central role of art and writing education and opens up the discourse on educational policy and its teaching in schools.
