Resumen
El siglo XX se considera el apogeo de la cultura del dibujo infantil y juvenil en Europa. Los dramáticos acontecimientos de los años 1914-1950 constituyen el marco de la selección propuesta de 19 colecciones europeas excepcionales: dibujos, pinturas, escritos y dos diarios juveniles. Estos dibujos son documentos de acontecimientos graves y proporcionan una visión profunda de las biografías, las vidas privadas y los cambios sociales.
En 2025, la colección de dibujos, recopilada por Jutta Ströter-Bender y Kunibert Bering en colaboración con Kristell Gilbert (Musée de l'Education Rouen), fue incluida en el Registro Memoria del Mundo de la UNESCO.
