The Merten School Chronicle 1940-1949. A singular source
A virtual exhibition by Stadt Bornheim
The chronicle describes the events of the war from the end of 1940 to September 1944. The years 1945 and 1946 are only discussed in retrospect in a supplement. While other elementary school chronicles also describe the events of these years vividly, the Merten chronicle contains a special feature: 53 Allied leaflets are pasted into the chronicle.
