Abstract
This study is an exploration of the 50's in Greece, focusing on strategies applied in order to deal with the recent trauma of Occupation, Civil War and their legacy, as well as in creating a new, post-war reality, however contradictory. In addition to historical treatises, literary and cinematic works were used as historical sources, in addition to the narrative of people who witnessed the events either as participants or as "victims", in order to acquire a more comprehensive idea of the era and the aftermath of the wars. The qualitative and comparative analysis of the sources aimed to highlight the strategies of managing traumatic memory and adapting to a new reality, as well as the gradual change of society and the mentality of people. Studying the 50's through contemporary sources also traced the pathways of memory and oblivion, the various levels of perception and processing of the traumatic experience of the Civil War, ranging from the first post-war years to our time. The question being, to what degree Greek society has achieved national reconciliation and acceptance of its past, insists on divisive memory or chooses to ignore conflicting issues. Shielding democracy requires citizens who will reject the easy way of fanaticism and intolerance, having acquired appropriate historical knowledge. Thus, a proposal for group projects for Secondary Education is proposed, which utilizes various textual genres in order to acquaint students with the historical era, resulting in the production of a creative work.
