The village of Podum and the Gacka Valley have a long and complex history. Many people from this region moved to other parts of Europe and across the ocean. Others were forced to leave because of war or political change.
Fragments of Historyconnects these local stories with wider histories of migration, loss, and rebuilding. It also shows how memories are passed down through generations and how they continue to shape identity today.
Get InvolvedShare your story
We invite you to become part of the Fragments of History project! If you have photographs, short stories, video recordings, documents (e.g. payment slips, postcards, letters), or handmade items from family workshops, we would be happy to include them in our shared archive of memory.
If you would like to share your memories and life stories, you can invite us for a conversation or interview - in person, online, or by phone. Your experience, whether you are from Podum, the Gacka Valley, or the diaspora is a valuable part of our collective history.
Together, we preserve the voices of the past and create a space for intergenerational dialogue.
