  The Empty Chairs That Uncovered A Hidden History with Cees Koole

  Aug 13, 202657 min

  In this episode of Pulse , Aldo sits down with Cees Koole, educator and creator of Empty Chairs in the Classroom , a project that explores how history can come alive in ways that profoundly impact both students and communities. They discuss how a simple discovery in a school archive grew into a powerful initiative that reconnects young people with the lives of students who disappeared during the Second World War. Together, they explore why Holocaust education remains as important as ever, how local history shapes our understanding of citizenship, and what it means to move from being a bystander to someone who chooses to act. This is a thought-provoking conversation about remembrance, education, and the responsibility we all share to preserve the stories of those who came before us. Sincerely hope you will enjoy our interview with Cees Koole.
